In this Special Issue,a focus is placed on the role of the itdxylem as an essential conduit for the long-distance Edelivery of water and mineral nutrients from the soil to the vegetative(above-ground)regions of the plant Xylem cells destined to form tracheids or vesse members,which will make up the conduit for this water and mineral transport from the roots to the shoots,undergo apoptosis,a process of
In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to exploring the complex gene regulatory networks involved in the development of the plant vascular system. Such information is crucial to our understanding of the molecular and cellular events which give rise to the integrated tissues of the xylem and phloem, leading to the formation of structurally continuous conduits that interconnect various organs of the plant. Vascular development begins in the embryo to form progenitor cells, and upon germination, these progenitor cells and their decedents in the shoot and root meristems will form phloem and xylem, and the cambium.
