Evolutionary conservation of candidate osmoregulation genes in
plant phloem sap - feeding insects
Not exact matches
The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves while the
phloem moves food substances from leaves to the rest of the
plant.
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).
Like the vascular system in people, the xylem and
phloem tissues extend throughout the
plant.
The researchers published the results of the project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, in the specialist journal
Plant Biology under the title «Functional characterisation and cell specificity of BvSUT1, the transporter that loads sucrose into the
phloem of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) source leaves «(doi: 10.1111 / plb.12546).
«The bacteria hide inside the
plant in the
phloem region,» Santra said.
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.
