Scientists at the University of Helsinki discovered how plants heal their protective outer layer, the periderm. The diffusion ...

Outside of preferring sandy soils and sun, carrots thrive on neglect. So it may come as a surprise when you cut into your freshly harvested carrot and see neat, vertical holes surrounding the core. In ...

Most of the businesses located along Canyon Road are devoted to art or dining. The owners of a new enterprise along that historic street are trying to introduce horticulture to the mix. Beth Succop ...

When a plant dries out, its water transport system becomes impaired through the formation of gas bubble blockages, or embolisms, in the plant's water-transporting tissues – xylem. Depending on the ...

In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’re getting up close and personal with plants’ anatomy by diving right into plant tissue under a microscope. Let’s learn what plants are really made of.

In plant biology, we learn that phloem tissue transports the sugars (photosynthate) within the tree, while xylem tissue transports water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the leaves. However, ...

The sensors can detect a decrease in acidity in the plant’s xylem tissues, an early sign of drought stress. This technology can warn farmers and gardeners about drought stress up to 48 hours before ...

When used in plants, the COF compounds will transition from dark red to red as the pH increases in the xylem tissues, indicating that the plants are experiencing drought stress and require early ...

This paper presents the real-time monitoring of a grapevine's water content that flows up through the xylem tissue by means of a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar. The application of an ...

Plants contain a vast network of conduits, which consists of xylem and phloem tissues. The xylem and phloem tissues extend throughout the plant. These conducting tissues start in the roots and ...
