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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
