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 ...

Plant Physiology, Vol. 138, No. 2, Arabidopsis Special Issue (Jun., 2005), pp. 803-818 (16 pages) The growth of secondary xylem and phloem depends on the division of cells in the vascular cambium and ...

Owing to recent advances, plant vascular developmental can now be described from early specification during embryogenesis up to late differentiation events. Plant vascular tissues display both ...

Figure 1: Phloem and xylem transport in plants. Plants possess different transport systems that can be classified according to the distance and the direction of transport. To assure that the ...

With our sustained high summer temperatures plants need a continuous source of water. Water moves from the soil into and throughout a plant delivering water and nutrients via a pipe-like vascular ...

An inter-university research group has succeeded in constructing the gene expression network behind the vascular development process in plants. They achieved this by performing bioinformatics analysis ...

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 ...

Just like animals, plants are made of tiny little cells. Like animal cells, basic plant cells have a nucleus, a cell membrane and cytoplasm. They've also got a vacuole, chloroplasts and a cell wall, ...

Plants—they’re just like us! Well, not exactly, but they do have skin and hair like us…even if they also have creepy little alien mouths. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’re getting up close ...
