Plant leaves are adapted for gas exchange ... So that water and gases have a limited distance to diffuse. Vascular tissue in the midrib and veins Branches of the xylem, to transport water and ...

(2) In moist habitats the proportion of parenchymatous tissue is prominent. Aerenchyma is abundant in swamp plants. (3) The vascular tissue is variable in quantity, seemingly more or less subject to ...

The book Tissue Engineering of Vascular Prosthetic Grafts, edited by Peter Zilla and Howard Greisler, explores the basic biology, clinical background and pathology of synthetic vascular graft ...

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.

Researchers did lab experiments and tested real plants, like corn, to see how the plastics entered the leaves. They found that the tiny plastic particles float in the air, land on the leaves, and ...

A joint study led by Chinese scientists has demonstrated that plant leaves can absorb and accumulate airborne microplastics, revealing a direct pathway for these pollutants to enter the food chain and ...

where the parasite steals water and nutrients from another plant through a multi-functional organ, which allows the parasite to tap directly into the vascular tissue of its host. Abandoning the ...
