These are distributed differently in roots and stems. In the root, the xylem forms a central column. It forms a solid support. The phloem is towards the centre, outside the xylem. Any green part ...

They found strong variation in most of the traits studied across root topological orders. In particular, they found a strong increase in theoretical specific xylem hydraulic conductivity (K th, the ...

As water travels through the xylem in the stem and leaf, it is being replaced by water taken up by the roots. Xylem Transpiration Moves water and minerals from roots to leaves Columns of hollow ...

Our group is studying the development of vascular cambium by using Arabidopsis thaliana root as a model. Vascular cambium produces xylem (wood) and phloem, and together with the cork cambium, which ...
