The phloem vascular system facilitates transport of energy-rich sugar and signalling molecules in plants, thus permitting long-range communication within the organism and growth of ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Light microscopic studies of the petioles of Lagenaria siceraria reveal that the external phloem of each bicollateral vascular bundle develops ...
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 ...
