They found that two Vascular-related Mac-Domain genes were highly expressed in xylem compared to other tissues, indicating that these might be key regulators in the formation of xylem-specific cells.

Plants take up water from the soil via the roots and transport it through a vascular system, the so-called xylem, into the canopy. The xylem is a network of tubular cell wall containers that are ...

Xylary branching at the proximal end of a differentiating side bundle was modified by surgical alteration of the surrounding leaf traces and manipulation of their auxin fluxes. Incisions through one ...

But smaller-scale tweaks to xylem cells and tissue organization can protect against drought, too, says Cornell University evolutionary biologist Jacob Suissa, who was not involved in the new study.

Be watchful to keep your plants hydrated this summer and so maintain the unbroken chain of water in the xylem. ELLEN PEFFLEY taught horticulture at the college level for 28 years, 25 of those at ...

In all three species, severing a vascular bundle in a young internode resulted in regeneration of xylem to form a curved by-pass immediately around the wound. The numerous phloem anastomoses in these ...

Cells work tightly together to form the water-conducting vascular tissue of plants Date: February 25, 2016 Source: Umeå universitet Summary: Plants transport water in pipe-like structures made of ...

Inside a palm tree are a bunch of vascular bundles made up of xylem and phloem tissue. Xylem tissue conducts water and phloem conducts nutrients. Each of these bundles is wrapped in a ring of ...
