The following points highlight the eight experiments on translocation of plants. Some of the experiments are: 1. Demonstration of Upward Translocation from Germinating Seeds 2. To Show the Downward Translocation of Food in a Woody Stem (Or Effect of Ringing Upon Food Movement) 3. Demonstration of Translocation from Leaves 4. Demonstration of Upward Translocation of Food in Woody Stem and [...]
Let us make an in-depth study of the translocation of organic solutes in higher plants. After reading this article you will learn about 1. Directions of Translocation 2. Path of the Translocation of Organic Solutes 3. Mechanism of Translocation through Phloem and 4. Other Theories of Mechanism of Translocation. The movement of organic food materials or the solutes in soluble [...]
The below mentioned article provides an useful note on the phloem loading and unloading in plants. Translocation of organic solutes such as sucrose (i.e., photosynthetic) takes place through sieve tube elements of phloem from supply end (or source) to consumption end (or sink). But, before this translocation of sugars could proceed, the soluble sugars must be transferred from mesophyll cells [...]
