This project aims to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the formation of sieve plates in plant vascular systems. By using advanced genetic tools, it seeks to identify key genes involved in the development and adaptation of these structures critical for nutrient transport.
The plant vasculature comprises the xylem and phloem.
The phloem’s conductive cells, the sieve elements, transport sugars produced in leaves to sink organs, such as roots, tubers, fruits and seeds.
They also transport hormones and RNAs throughout the plant, enabling its adaptive and continuous development.
Individual sieve elements connect through callose-rich sieve plates to form sieve tubes, the larger supra-cellular conducting units.
Perforation of the sieve plate with sieve pores is critical…
