In higher plants, the phloem acts not only as a conduit for photosynthates but also as a dynamic signalling highway for macromolecules such as RNAs. Messenger RNAs (mRNAs), small interfering RNAs and ...

Plant researchers have investigated the transport of compounds in maize. They focused on the mechanism used to transport the products of photosynthesis for further distribution in the plant through ...

Plants have evolved a multitude of strategies to adjust their growth according to external and internal signals. Interconnected metabolic and phytohormonal signalling networks allow adaption to ...
