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 ...

New research in plants that colonized the base of an active stratovolcano reveals that two simple molecular steps rewired nutrient transport, enabling adaptation. New research in plants that colonized ...

Figure 1: Four kinesin-14 subgroup members exhibit minus-end-directed motor activity. We asked whether any of the active motors might also be processive in a single-molecule motility assay. This assay ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 15, No. 45 (October 1964), pp. 422-427 (6 pages) The electrical potential difference between the exuding sap of detopped castor oil plants and the external 1 mM ...

Boron, though required only in minimal amounts, is vital for plant development. It strengthens cell walls and supports the growth of roots and shoots. Normally, boron, in the form of boric acid, is ...

The cytosolic free calcium concentration of higher plant cells is maintained at about 0.1 μM by the action of membrane calcium transporters. These act to remove calcium from the cytosol and expel it ...

Plants produce all the amino acids essential for human life. This commonly occurs in specialized cell organelles, so-called plastids. A research team headed by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf ...
