Prior to a long-distance transport of photoassimilate in the sieve elements of Laminaria, a parenchyma transport across the cortex must occur. It is suggested that this transport is a symplastic one.

Traffic lights signal to cars and buses when to stop, slow and go. Much like traffic lights, plant cells send signals to each other to perform photosynthesis to grow or fight off destructive viruses ...
