Plant roots and certain human membrane systems resist chemical transport in much the same way, say researchers. This similarity could make it easier to assess chemical risks for both people and plants ...

Bryn and Rhys are on their way to a football game. Bryn is annoyed with the transport system. Alfred hears the word ‘transport’ and begins explaining transport system in plants. Alfred explains the ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A review and re-examination of literature data shows that highly selective water channels (aquaporins) have marked effects on the overall ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In a recent Opinion paper, Wegner (Journal of Experimental Botany 65, 381–392, 2014) adapts a concept developed for water flow in animal ...

Sucrose is a vital energy source in plants. It also drives growth and serves as an important signaling molecule during stress and development. Sucrose is a key product of photosynthesis and the ...

Ferredoxin is a pivotal iron–sulphur protein that functions as an electron carrier in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Within chloroplasts, photosystem I reduces ferredoxin, which in turn ...

Sulfur is a vital macronutrient that plays central roles in plant growth, development and stress resilience. In plants, sulfur is primarily absorbed as sulfate from the soil and is subsequently ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

Nanoparticles seem to be always on the move: Researchers have observed them navigate across biological barriers and accumulate within single-celled organisms and animal tissues. Now Swiss researchers ...
