Diffusion and bulk flow in phloem loading - a theoretical analysis of the polymer trap mechanism in plants
Julia Dölger, Hanna Rademaker, Johannes Liesche +2
Plants create sugar in the mesophyll cells of their leaves by photosynthesis. This sugar, mostly sucrose, has to be loaded via the bundle sheath into the phloem vascular system (th…
