Colchicine has been demonstrated by ion-exchange and by gelfiltration assay to bind to a protein fraction derived from the higher plant Heracleum mantegazzianum. Colchicine-binding protein from a ...

Sieve elements are a key component of phloem, the conductive tissue through which plants transport carbohydrates and a wide range of signalling molecules. Elongated cylindrical cells are capped at one ...

Xylem sap of proteoid roots, lateral roots, sinker root and age classes of trunk segments, and phloem sap of mid-trunks were collected from trees of Banksia prionotes (Proteaceae) in native habitat on ...

When plants evolved a vascular system containing cells that facilitate the transport of water and nutrients, this not only allowed them to conquer land, but also provided the structural stability that ...

Crops worldwide are increasingly vulnerable to pandemics, as diseases hitch rides on global flows of people and goods, hopping from continent to continent. Phloem diseases such as citrus greening are ...
