Stem xylem uptake and transport of plant source water is widely considered a critical component of the global water cycle. The deuterium signature of cryogenically extracted plant stem water (δ 2 H stem_CVD) provides a useful means for studying water fluxes, but recent studies have shown uncertainty as to whether δ 2 H stem_CVD is a …
Abstract. Recent studies have demonstrated that plant and soilwater extraction techniques can introduce biases and uncertainties in stable isotope analyses. Here we show how recently documented δ2H biases resulting from cryogenic vacuum distillation of water from xylem tissues may have influenced the conclusions of five previous studies, including …
We tested a multi-layered pit membrane model in xylem of eight angiosperm species by estimating the size frequency of pore constrictions in relation to pit membrane thickness and compared modelled data with perfusion characteristics of nanoscale gold particles based on transmission electron microscopy.
To date, the vast majority of microbial communities inhabiting the olive xylem are unknown; therefore, this work pursues the characterization of the xylem-limited microbiome and determines whether the culture isolation medium, olive genotype, and the plant material used to analyze it can have an effect on the bacterial populations retrieved.

Gold Processing Methods & Gold Ore Extraction. Of all the methods of extracting gold & processing it from its ore, I used a few to evaluate two principal flowsheets in this case study. The flowsheets utilized operations that involved flotation, cyanidation and gravity concentration. Tests that mirror each of these unit operations …
Cryogenic vacuum extraction (CVE) has been considered as the standard technique for the analysis of plant water stable isotopes in ecohydrological research. Recent studies reported that CVE can introduce significant bias in stable isotope analyses, yet the causes and influencing factors of the CVE‐induced deuterium offsets remain …
Sap extraction is obtained by applying a gentle aspiration to xylem vessels. Vacuum force allows sap extraction due to the lower axial resistance in the xylem vessels than in the other compartments of the sample. Because the applied pressure is not enough to overcome the resistance of the air to pass through the pit membrane, it is necessary to ...
The differentiation of procambial cells into xylem cells during plant radial growth is regulated by the TDIF–TDR signalling pathway. Here, the authors show that GSK3 protein kinases and their ...
There is a growing awareness that secreted pemediate organ-to-organ communication in higher plants. Xylem sap peptidomics is an effective but challenging approach for identifying long-distance mobile peptides. In this study we developed a simple, gel-free purification system that combines o -chlorophenol extraction with HPLC …
The results showed that OsNRAMP5 mutation reduced xylem and phloem transport of Cd, due to remarkably lower Cd translocation from roots to shoots and from the leaves Ⅰ–Ⅲ to their corresponding nodes, as well as lower Cd concentrations in xylem and phloem sap of lcd1 compared to WT plants.
Background Plant systemic signaling characterized by the long distance transport of molecules across plant organs involves the xylem and phloem conduits. Root-microbe interactions generate systemic signals that are transported to aerial organs via the xylem sap. We analyzed the xylem sap proteome of soybean seedlings in response to …
To date, the vast majority of microbial communities inhabiting the olive xylem are unknown; therefore, this work pursues the characterization of the xylem-limited microbiome and determines whether the culture isolation medium, olive genotype, and the plant material used to analyze it can have an effect on the bacterial populations retrieved.
While the phloem mainly allocates photoassimilates, the role of the xylem is the transport of water and inorganic nutrients from roots to all aerial plant parts. Only recently it was noticed that in addition to mineral salts, xylem sap contains organic nutrients and even proteins. Although these proteins might have important impact on the …

It is well known that phloem and xylem vessels transport small nutrient molecules over long distances in higher plants. The finding that proteins also occur in ...
The GP and CE methods can selectively extract sap water from the xylem without significant isotopic fractionation, thus accurately reflecting the isotopic signal of transpiration water. CE might be the most promising alternative technique for extracting woody plant water for isotopic analysis because of its high extraction success rate.

The phloem sap, xylem sap and apoplastic fluid play key roles in long and short distance transport of signals and nutrients, and act as a barrier against local and systemic pathogen infection. Among other components, these plant fluids contain proteins which are likely to be important players in their functionalities.
Plant sap is the fluid that is actively flowing through the xylem and phloem of the plant. By extracting and analyzing the mineral and metabolic parameters of this sap, growers can make real-time decisions to help steer the plant's health, productivity, and cost to …
