Xylem vessel pits are tiny openings on the cell wall of water-conducting cells—with pit geometry influencing crop yield ...

Shoot apical meristems produce stem tissues, produce leaves, and produce flowers. Cell proliferation characteristics of meristems are dependent upon cell maturation processes and the functions of ...

Scientists at Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) have identified trace amounts ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 48, No. 311 (JUNE 1997), pp. 1229-1239 (11 pages) Maize (Zea mays L.) was grown in quartz sand culture either with a normal root system (controls) or with seminal ...

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 ...

Asymmetrically transported auxin-efflux carriers cause a polarized flow of auxin, which leads to the formation of continuous columns of procambial cells. In addition, one or more ...

Ikoma, Japan – The generation and maintenance of tissue boundaries are fundamental to the development of functional organs in both plants and animals. In general, tissue boundaries are initially set ...

These are distributed differently in roots and stems. In the root, the xylem forms a central column. It forms a solid support. The phloem is towards the centre, outside the xylem. Any green part of a ...

Průhonice, Czech Republic - The green world that we live in would not have been possible without hidden changes to the plant body over the last 400 million years. To grow beyond just centimetres tall ...

A cytokinin-mediated, proliferation-based mechanism is involved in the generation and maintenance of cell-type specific tissue boundaries during vascular development in Arabidopsis roots. Specifically ...
