Figure 1: Passive phloem loading in plants and in the synthetic tree-on-a-chip. Using our synthetic passive loader, we study in this paper the full dynamics of passive phloem loading, set by the ...

Premise of research. Secondary phloem produced by a bifacial vascular cambium is the distinctive feature of lignophytes, the group that comprises the seed plants and the progymnosperms. Because ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Background and Aims Phloem evolution has been explored in the literature across very broad scales, either for vascular plants as a whole or ...
