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...
TI,SM,and TA were supported by startup funds provided to VN by Purdue Fort Wayne and Colorado State University.DF and JK were supported by USDA NIFA MO-HAPS0006 and the University of Missouri Research Board.JK was supported by AFRI EWD(2019-67011-29729)from the U.S.Department of Agriculture,National Institute of Food and Agriculture.The authors wish to thank Bruce Arnold for technical support with the electrical penetration graph machine.
Diurnal variation in phloem sap composition has a strong infuence on aphid performance.The sugar-rich phloem sap serves as the sole diet for aphids and a suite of physiological mechanisms and behaviors allowv them to ...
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...
