How does water move through plants to get to the top of tall trees? Here we describe the pathways and mechanisms driving water uptake and transport through plants, and causes of flow disruption.

In pure water, the cell contents (the cytoplasm and vacuole) push against the cell wall and the cell becomes turgid . Fully turgid cells support the stems of non-woody plants. In a very ...

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how are they positioned where they need to be? For example, plants need boron ...
