How does water move through plants to get to the top of tall trees? Here we describe the pathways and mechanisms driving water uptake and transport through plants, and causes of flow disruption. Water ...

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for the healthy growth of plants, including many staple crops like rice. Its deficiency remains a common agricultural problem that slashes crop yields, as it ...

NEET UG 2026 is expected on the first Sunday of May. Check your preparation with these high-yield Plant Physiology ...

Aquaporins, which move water through membranes of plant cells, were not thought to be able to permeate sugar molecules, but researchers have observed sucrose transport in plant aquaporins for the ...

A research group led by Dr. Ryushiro Kasahara has discovered a new plant tissue essential for seed formation, which will be ...

A rapid method is described for measuring organelle-specific metabolite transport systems in crude homogenates from plants. The tissues were homogenized in liquid nitrogen, extracted with buffer and ...

This book critically reviews advances in our understanding of the biology of vascular epiphytes since Andreas Schimper's 1888 seminal work. It addresses all aspects of their biology, from anatomy and ...

Scientists at the Earlham Institute in Norwich, U.K., say they have been able to turn tobacco plants into solar-powered factories for moth sex pheromones. In addition, they’ve shown how the production ...

Bryn and Rhys are on their way to a football game. Bryn is annoyed with the transport system. Alfred hears the word ‘transport’ and begins explaining transport system in plants. Alfred explains the ...

Academic researchers and companies in the agricultural biotechnology sector will be able to use a patent-pending Purdue University biology innovation to introduce valuable traits to plants without ...

In experiments on transport tissues in plants, researchers were able to identify factors of crucial importance for the formation of the plant tissue known as phloem. These factors differ from all ...
