A phloem-enriched cDNA library from Ricinus: insights into phloem function.
The aim of this study was to identify genes that are expressed in the phloem. Increased knowledge of phloem regulation will contribute to our understanding of its many roles, from transport of solutes to information about interactions with pathogens. A cDNA library constructed from phloem-enriched sap exuding from cut Ricinus communis (L.) hypocotyls was sequenced. To assess contamination from ...
متن کاملPhloem Structure and Function
The development of vascular tissueswas prerequisite to the evolution of land plants, allowing for the division of labour between different organs. Instead of the entire plant body, the roots alone became specialized for the uptake of water and nutrients. The aerial organs diversified into stems, leaves andflowers. Photosynthesis shifted increasingly into leaves, expanding the light-exposed area...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of a pumpkin phloem lectin cDNA.
One of the characteristic events that occurs during phloem differentiation in dicotyledonous plants is the appearance of phloem protein within the sieve elements and companion cells of the phloem tissue (Esau and Cronshaw, 1967). Two very abundant phloem proteins, PPl and PP2, have been isolated from phloem exudates of pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) (Read and Northcote, 1983). PPl is a 96-kD struct...
متن کاملEffect of Potassium Supply on the Rate of Phloem Sap Exudation and the Composition of Phloem Sap of Ricinus communis.
The composition of phloem sap has been investigated in Ricinus communis var. gibsonii, grown for 2 weeks on nutrient solution of low and high potassium content (K(1) and K(2)). Diagonal cuts were made in the bark of the stem resulting in the exudation of clear droplets which mainly consisted of phloem sap. Although the plants at low K (0.4 mm) and high K (1 mm) did not differ in growth, leaf ar...
متن کاملArabidopsis NPCC6/NaKR1 Is a Phloem Mobile Metal Binding Protein Necessary for Phloem Function and Root Meristem Maintenance C W
SODIUM POTASSIUM ROOT DEFECTIVE1 (NaKR1; previously called NPCC6) encodes a soluble metal binding protein that is specifically expressed in companion cells of the phloem. The nakr1-1 mutant phenotype includes high Na+, K+, Rb+, and starch accumulation in leaves, short roots, late flowering, and decreased long-distance transport of sucrose. Using traditional and DNA microarray-based deletion map...
