Single-cell RNA sequencing technology provides unprecedented opportunities to capture the spatiotemporal aspects of genetic programs that drive cell differentiation.Phloem is a subtype of vascular tissue that is cruci...
Interactions between above and below ground parts of plants can be considered under the(overlapping) categories of energy,material and information.Solar energy powers photosynthesis and transpiration by above ground s...

Salinity is a serious challenge for agriculture production by limiting the arable land.Rice is a major staple food crop but very sensitive to salt stress.In this study,we used Arabidopsis for the functional characteri...
Secondary stem growth develops different cambial variants in Convolvulaceae. Here, the cambial variant features of 17 species in seven genera (Convolvulaceae) in Taiwan are presented. The xylem rings produce various s...

During plant growth and development mineral elements are preferentially delivered to different organs and tissues to meet the differential demand. It has been shown that the preferential distribution of mineral nutrie...
Resistance of the melon line TGR-1551 to the aphid Aphis gossypii is based on preventing aphids from ingesting phloem sap. In electrical penetration graphs (EPGs), this resistance has been characterized with A. goss...
