Researchers Discover Developmental Regulation of Important Plant Phloem Components

Previous research has shown that sieve elements play an important role in phloem, the conductive tissue through which plants transport carbohydrates and a wide range of signalling molecules. Elongated cylindrical cells are capped at one end by a sieve plate and arranged end-to-end to form sieve tubes which in turn form a network throughout a plant's body. "Sieve elements are very special cells which play an important role in carbon sequestration, ...
