PHLOEM TRANSPORT

Emergence of vascular plants

Nature Plants volume 4, pages 325–326 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

The emergence of vascular plants requires tightly regulated mechanisms to control the photosynthate transporting system. For phloem establishment and carbon allocation to sink tissues, a novel translational regulatory network involving a zinc-finger protein and RNA G-quadruplex is now revealed for the first time.
