Translocation is the movement of the substance in the phloem (assimilate). Phloem loading may be apoplastic or symplastic. The pressure-flow hypothesis explains how translocation is driven by phloem …
24 Σεπ 2024 · The cells are joined end to end and contain holes in the end cell walls (called sieve plates) which allow easy flow of substances from one cell to the next. The transport of sucrose and amino acids in the phloem, from regions of production to regions of storage or use, is called translocation.
27 Αυγ 2022 · Definition. noun. (1) A change of location; displacement; a transfer of location. (2) (genetics) Chromosomal translocation, that is a chromosomal segment is moved from one position to another, either within the same chromosome or to another chromosome. (3) (botany) Transport of soluble food material from one plant to another via phloem or xylem.
25 Νοε 2023 · Translocation is the biological term used to describe the transport of organic solutes in the phloem tissue. The liquid that is being transported within the phloem can be referred to as phloem sap. This phloem sap consists of sugars in the form of sucrose, along with water and other dissolved substances such as amino acids.
Translocation involves the transport of dissolved substances from a source to a sink inside a plant. A source is the part of a plant that supplies sucrose and amino acids. A sink is where sucrose and amino acids will be used or stored. Transport in the phloem occurs in different directions depending on the stage of development or the time of year.
13 Μαρ 2021 · Translocation is the movement of solutes from source to sink through the phloem sieve tubes. Sucrose is actively loaded into companion cells using co-transport with H + ions. There is a pressure gradient from source to sink which drives mass flow.
Key learning points. Sugars, amino acids and other organic substances (nutrients) are transported in phloem. Translocation starts at a source, such as a leaf where sugars are made. Sugars are transported into phloem by active transport across the membranes of the living phloem cells.
