Carbohydrate partitioning is the process of carbon assimilation and distribution from source
tissues, such as leaves, to sink tissues, such as stems, roots and seeds. Sucrose, the …

Plant stress detection is considered one of the most critical areas for the improvement of
crop yield in the compelling worldwide scenario, dictated by both the climate change and the …

Plants in nature, which are continuously challenged by diverse insect herbivores, produce
constitutive and inducible defenses to reduce insect damage and preserve their own fitness …

Despite the crucial role of carbon transport in whole plant physiology and its impact on plant–
environment interactions and ecosystem function, relatively little research has tried to …

Plants are organisms composed of modules connected by xylem and phloem transport
streams. Attack by both insects and pathogens elicits sometimes rapid defense responses in …

Herbivore attack leads to resource conflicts between plant defensive strategies.
Photoassimilates are required for defensive compounds and carbon storage below ground …

Medical imaging techniques are rapidly expanding in the field of plant sciences. Positron
emission tomography (PET) is advancing as a powerful functional imaging technique to …

Silicon (Si) uptake is generally beneficial for plants that need protection from insect
herbivores. In pursue of mechanisms involved in Si-mediated defense, we comprehensively …

The increasing demand for food, combined with the rapidly increasing global population,
rings the alarm bell in light of decreasing natural resources and the increasing trend of …

Using the short-lived isotope 11C (t1/2= 20.4 min) as 11CO2, we captured temporal
changes in whole-plant carbon movement and partitioning of recently fixed carbon into …
