In a mature flowering plant or tree, most of the cells that make up the xylem are specialised cells called vessels.

Specialised plant cells include root hair cells, palisade cells, xylem cells and phloem cells. Just like animals, plants are made of tiny little cells. Like animal cells, basic plant cells have a ...

The vascular network consisting of phloem and xylem (wood) provides plants with structural support and long-distance transport that specifies further downstream processes in the sink tissues (such as ...

We study genes that contribute to cell division activity in vascular cambium, the meristem between xylem (wood) and phloem. Understanding the regulation of the cambium activity enhancing factors might ...

As we move inside for the winter to cozy up to the fireplace, we need to remember our smooth-barked and young trees. Using a tree ...

vital for shielding the trees' food- and water-transporting parts (xylem and phloem) and regenerative issues from injury, So, ...

The freeze damaged trees’ vascular tissue, called the xylem and phloem. These run just beneath the bark and, like straws, transport water and nutrients throughout the tree. What most don’t ...
