Interxylary phloem is here defined as strands or bands of phloem embedded within the secondary xylem of a stem or root of a plant that has a single vascular cambium. In this definition, interxylary ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The secondary phloem of pecan is segmented by narrow rays into radial sectors of varying width. Irregular bands of fibers alternate with ...

Asymmetrically transported auxin-efflux carriers cause a polarized flow of auxin, which leads to the formation of continuous columns of procambial cells. In addition, one or more ...

When plants evolved a vascular system containing cells that facilitate the transport of water and nutrients, this not only allowed them to conquer land, but also provided the structural stability that ...

You probably don’t think you need a botany lesson when all you want to know is how to keep your Christmas tree fresh this season. But explaining a few things might make the whole process make sense.

These are distributed differently in roots and stems. In the root, the xylem forms a central column. It forms a solid support. The phloem is towards the centre, outside the xylem. Any green part of a ...

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 ...

Plants come in all shapes and sizes, allowing them to fit into unique niches in the landscape, but they can be quite complex organisms. In order to select the most appropriate plants for a given ...
