Sucrose is produced in, and translocated from, photosynthetically active leaves (sources) to support non-photosynthetic tissues (sinks), such as developing seeds, fruits, and tubers. Different plants ...
A mathematical model of water and sucrose transport across the sieve tube boundary is presented, based on conservation of matter and the phenomenological equations for plasmodesmatal transport between ...
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 ...
