    • Ion Induced Changes in the Structure of Bordered Pit Membranes 

      Lee, Jinkee; Holbrook, Noel Michele; Zwieniecki, Maciej A. (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012)
      Ion-mediated changes in xylem hydraulic resistance are hypothesized to result from hydrogel like properties of pectins located in the bordered pit membranes separating adjacent xylem vessels. Although the kinetics of the ...

    • Modeling the Hydrodynamics of Phloem Sieve Plates 

      Jensen, Kaare Hartvig; Mullendore, Daniel Leroy; Holbrook, Noel Michele; Bohr, Tomas; Knoblauch, Michael; Bruus, Henrik (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012)
      Sieve plates have an enormous impact on the efficiency of the phloem vascular system of plants, responsible for the distribution of photosynthetic products. These thin plates, which separate neighboring phloem cells, are ...
