The commenter continued that as time passes, the xylem and phloem (vascular tissues in plants that transport water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant) expand with the width of the tree ...

Specialised plant cells include root hair cells, palisade cells, xylem cells and phloem cells. Just like animals, plants are made of tiny little cells. Like animal cells, basic plant cells have a ...

How does water move through plants to get to the top of tall ... Refilling embolized xylem conduits: Is it a matter of phloem unloading? Plant Science 180, 604-611 (2011). Sack, L.

In the winter, when deciduous trees have no leaves, the water pressure in the sap becomes positive. A flow occurs where water moves up in the xylem and cycles down in the phloem (food conducting cells ...

The vascular network consisting of phloem and xylem (wood) provides plants with structural support and long-distance transport that specifies further downstream processes in the sink tissues (such as ...

Plant development is the process by which structures originate and mature as a plant grows. Plants produce new tissues and structures throughout their life from clusters of undifferentiated cells ...

We study genes that contribute to cell division activity in vascular cambium, the meristem between xylem (wood) and phloem. Understanding the regulation of the cambium activity enhancing factors might ...
