Do you know what phloem and the Münch hypothesis are about?

Long distance transport in plants occurs in sieve tubes of the phloem. The pressure flow hypothesis introduced by Ernst Münch in 1930 describes a mechanism of osmotically generated pressure differentials that are supposed to drive the movement of sugars and other solutes in the phloem, but this hypothesis has long faced major challenges. The key... Read more

Webinar: Study Cellular Dynamics with 1 ms precision

By combining optical and electrical simulation with high-pressure freezing it is now possible to capture fast cellular dynamics with millisecond precision. In a webinar on March 29 Dr. Shigeki Watanabe and Dr. Frédéric Leroux will present results of recent studies that demonstrate how this new method can help to resolve controversial questions in neurobiology. The... Read more
