Exchange of Solutes between Phloem and Xylem and Circulation in the Whole Plant

  • Chapter
Transport in Plants I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 1))

Abstract

Two main pathways exist for transport of solutes in the vascular plant. One of these comprises the cytoplasmic continuum (symplast) of the plant, including cell-to-cell transfer over short distances via plasmodesmata and over longer distances through the sieve elements of the phloem. The predominant direction of flux within this system is usually from photosynthetically active structures which serve as bulk sources of concentrated solutes such as carbohydrate, to sink regions of various kinds in which these solutes are consumed in growth or in the establishment of new reserves. The second pathway constitutes the extra-protoplasmic compartment (apoplast) of the plant, consisting in particular of the mass flow of water, ions and certain organic solutes upwards from the root in the xylem to transpiring surfaces of the shoot system.
