Phloem Thermal Fiber: Major Source of Nutrition in Plants

 Phloem is one of the two types of vascular tissues in plants, with the other being xylem. Phloem plays a crucial role in the transportation of various organic compounds, primarily the products of photosynthesis, throughout the plant. It is responsible for the movement of food and nutrients from where they are produced (usually the leaves) to where they are needed in the plant, including the roots, growing tissues, and storage organs. Here are the primary functions of phloem tissues:


Growing Plant
  1. Transport of Sugars: Phloem primarily transports sugars, primarily in the form of sucrose, that are produced during photosynthesis in the leaves. These sugars are essential for the plant's energy needs and growth. Phloem loading, a process in which sugars are actively transported into the phloem, occurs in source tissues like leaves. Phloem unloading happens in sink tissues, where sugars are removed for growth or storage.
  2. Nutrient Distribution: Phloem is responsible for distributing other essential nutrients, such as amino acids, hormones, and minerals, throughout the plant. This ensures that various parts of the plant receive the necessary resources for growth, repair, and maintenance.
  3. Storage and Growth: Phloem plays a role in the storage of carbohydrates in storage organs like roots and tubers. When the plant requires these stored sugars for growth or energy, they are transported from storage sites via phloem.
  4. Support for Metabolic Processes: Phloem helps support various metabolic processes in the plant. It provides the necessary materials for cell growth and repair and aids in responding to environmental stresses and challenges.
    Phloem consists of several cell types, including sieve elements, companion cells, fibers, and parenchyma cells. Sieve elements, particularly sieve tube elements, are the primary cells responsible for the long-distance transport of nutrients in the phloem. These cells are connected end-to-end to form a continuous conduit. Companion cells are located adjacent to sieve elements and play a vital role in supporting their metabolic activities.
    Overall, the phloem's main function is to ensure the distribution of essential nutrients and organic compounds throughout the plant, maintaining its growth, energy balance, and overall health.

Please protect the sparrow. IT's need for nature.....

                       World Sparrow Day                                                           SAVE SPARROWS World Sparrow Day  is a day designated to raise awareness of the house sparrow and then other common birds to urban environments, and of threats to their populations, observed on 20 March.It is an international initiative by the Nature Forever Society of India in collaboration with the Eco-Sys Action Foundation (France) and numerous other national and international organisations across the world. The Nature Forever Society was started by Mohammed Dilawar, an Indian conservationist who started his work helping the house sparrow in Nashik, and who was named one of the "Heroes of the Environment" for 2008 by time for his efforts.The idea of ma...

भारतीय इतिहास में 1893 ई० का वर्ष ....

भारतीय इतिहास में 1893 ई० के वर्ष को एक परिवर्तन बिन्दु के रूप में देखा जाता है ... परिवर्तन न०-1:- वैसे तो हम भारतीयों को अपनी संस्कृति पर बहुत गर्व है | इसकी डंका तो 1893 ई० में ही बज गया था, स्वामी विवेकानंद जी के द्वारा | जी हाँ, आपने सही सुना उनके द्वारा ही बजाया गया था | जब 1893 ई० में स्वामी विवेकानन्द जी अमेरिका के शिकागो शहर में सितम्बर में हो रहे (सर्व धर्म )सभी धर्मो के सम्मलेन में पहुँचे और सम्मलेन के पहले दिन ही उन्हें दो मिनट बोलने का समय दिया गया| जैसे ही स्वामी विवेकानंद जी ने अपने वक्तव्य का सम्बोधन “ अमेरिका के भाइयो और बहनों ” के साथ शुरू किया, तालियों की गड़गड़ाहट ने न केवल उन्हें, बल्कि भारत को सम्पूर्ण संसार के सर्वोच्य देशो में लाकर खड़ा कर दिया| उस समय उन्हें “ तूफानी हिन्दू ” कहा जाने लगा| परिवर्तन न०-2:- 16 नवम्बर, 1893 ई० को ही एनी बेसेंट भारत आयी और वाराणसी शहर में रहने लगी| उन्होंने भारतीयों से कहा कि, “ मै हृदय से तुम्हारे साथ हूँ और संस्कृति से भी तुम्ही लोगो में से एक हूँ| ” परिवर्तन न०-3:- 1893 ई० में 14 वर्ष के बाद योगीराज अ...
