Sap is the sticky substance you see oozing out of tree trunks, and many varieties are edible. Here's what to know about eating sap, plus the risks and benefits.

Figure 1: Passive phloem loading in plants and in the synthetic tree-on-a-chip. Using our synthetic passive loader, we study in this paper the full dynamics of passive phloem loading, set by the ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The translocation path in the included phloem of Bougainvillea and in the bicolateral bundles of cucumber was studied by exposing young ...

Several characteristics of the process of phloem unloading in the seed coat of developing seeds of Vicia faba L. were investigated. Prior to the procedure of measuring the release of solutes by the ...

Phloem diseases, including the economically devastating citrus greening, are particularly difficult to study because phloem cells -- essential for plant nutrient transport -- are difficult to access ...

Numerous insects and pathogens extract nutrients from phloem tissue buried deep inside plants. These phloem-feeding insects and pathogens cause tremendous economic losses worldwide and represent some ...

In vascular plants, long-distance transport of photoassimilates is driven by a pressure gradient within the phloem. It is a highly specialised tissue consisting of a network of living, tube-shaped ...

Researchers monitored the progression of phloem production over time in field-grown HLB-affected citrus trees to determine how the trees are capable of sustaining new growth. Results showed that new ...
