Sentences with phrase «phloem tissue»

Phloem tissue is responsible for translocating nutrients and sugars (carbohydrates), which are produced by the leaves, to areas of the plant that are metabolically active (requiring sugars for energy and growth).

«The phloem tissue is made of living elongated cells that are connected to one another.

Like the vascular system in people, the xylem and phloem tissues extend throughout the plant.

Catnip For Bark Beetles In 1957 Wood ground up some tree tissue, known as phloem, and took it back to his lab.

Adults and nymphs pierce the phloem and suck out soft tissue with their mouthparts.

The insect - transmitted bacteria bypasses that barrier and lives inside a tree's fruit, stems and roots, in the vascular tissue known as the phloem.

They produced a suite of remarkable videos showing growing roots and fluorescently tagged solutes and large molecules moving through the phloem, the tissue that transports plant sugars, and getting offloaded to neighboring cells.

The plants referred to as «ferns and fern allies» are plants that have vascular tissue (xylem and phloem for conducting water and sugars), but do not produce fruits and seeds.

The vascular plants (or tracheophytes) are characterized by the presence of vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) for structural support and for long - distance movement of water and nutrients throughout the plant body.

Vascular plants have lignified tissue and specialized structures termed xylem and phloem, which transport water, minerals, and nutrients upward from the roots and return sugars and other photosynthetic products.

Drought conditions appear to decrease host tree defenses against spruce beetles, which attack the inner layers of bark, feeding and breeding in the phloem, a soft inner bark tissue, which impedes tree growth and eventually kills vast swaths of forest.

These species kill by overwhelming, with coordinated aggression and sheer numbers, a tree's defenses, followed by a complete destruction of the tree's ability to transport the products of photosynthesis (e.g. sucrose, amino acids, hormones, etc.) through its transport tissue, the phloem or inner bark.
