P Proteins (Phloem Proteins) are a category of proteins found in the sap of the sieve tubes of the phloem of Angiospermic plants. P-proteins were also as called ‘slime bodies’ of ‘slime’ in the old literature. P proteins are usually found in the phloem of dicot plants. P Protein Characteristics of P Protein Ø P … Read more
The tissue associated with conduction of water, minerals and food materials in plants are called vascular tissue. Plants with a well-developed conductive system are thus called as ‘vascular plants’. Vascular plants are also known as ‘Tracheophyta’ (‘trachaea’ = vessels, a component of xylem, ‘phyta’= plants). The vascular systems in plants composed of two types of … Read more
Xylem vs Phloem Xylem and Phloem are the components of the vascular tissue system in plants. In the young parts of the stem, the xylem and phloem are together organized as vascular bundles. Both xylem and phloem are complex tissues which composed of more than one types of cells. The present post describes the similarities … Read more
