Vessels have diameters approximately that of a human hair and lengths typically measuring about 5 cm although some plant species contain vessels as long as 10 m. Xylem conduits begin as a series ...

This advanced technology can detect a reduction in acidity in plant xylem tissues, providing early warning of drought stress in plants up to 48 hours before traditional methods. Drought—or a ...

It forms a solid support. The phloem is towards the centre, outside the xylem. Any green part of a plant above ground, where it is exposed to light, can photosynthesise. But a plant’s leaves are ...

"By using this microbial cell factory, you can bypass extracting tons of xylem sap and thus destroying dozens of trees to discover the molecules important for the physiology of plants," said Li.

As water travels through the xylem in the stem and leaf, it is being replaced by water taken up by the roots. Photosynthesis produces glucose in the green parts of plants, which are often leaves.
