The freeze damaged trees’ vascular tissue, called the xylem and phloem. These run just beneath the bark and, like straws, transport water and nutrients throughout the tree. What most don’t ...

This is important for trees and shrubs since woody roots ... Refilling embolized xylem conduits: Is it a matter of phloem unloading? Plant Science 180, 604-611 (2011). Sack, L.

The vascular network consisting of phloem and xylem (wood) provides plants with structural support and long-distance transport that specifies further downstream processes in the sink tissues (such as ...

We study genes that contribute to cell division activity in vascular cambium, the meristem between xylem (wood) and phloem. Understanding the regulation of the cambium activity enhancing factors might ...

In a mature flowering plant or tree, most of the cells that make up the xylem are specialised cells called vessels.
