Plant roots and certain human membrane systems resist chemical transport in much the same way, say researchers. This similarity could make it easier to assess chemical risks for both people and ...

Transport in biology means carrying substance absorbed or made in the body of an organism to all other parts of its body. In plants, it is only water and minerals that need to be transported to ...

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 ...

Peter Buchner, Hideki Takahashi, Malcolm J. Hawkesford, Plant sulphate transporters: co-ordination of uptake, intracellular and long-distance transport, Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 55, No.

Membranes define the outer boundary of the living protoplast and the internal compartmentation of plant cells. From a structural point of view, membranes consist of a lipid bilayer and proteins ...

Researchers have just elucidated structures of a sugar transport protein that drives transport of sugar in plants. The study provides a comprehensive insight into sugar uptake into plant organs ...

Water transport in plants under climatic stress proceedings of an international workshop, held in Vallombrosa, Firenze, Italy edited by M. Borghetti, J. Grace, and A. Raschi ...

Sulfur Transport and Metabolism in Plants Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Sulfur Transport and Metabolism in Plants.

A tiny region at the root tip has been found to be responsible for orchestrating the growth and development of the complex network of vascular tissues that transport sugars through plant roots. An ...

Figure 1: Phloem and xylem transport in plants. Plants possess different transport systems that can be classified according to the distance and the direction of transport. To assure that the ...

The composition of aquatic plant communities in shallow freshwater bodies, including floating plants, submerged plants and ...
