Phloem Structure-Function Relationships by INDRANI GOSWAMI is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Here are the key steps in the experimental method used to measure phloem transport rates: 1. Aphids were used to access the phloem via their stylets. Their stylets allow direct sampling of phloem sap. 2. Radioactively labelled carbon dioxide was administered to the leaves, which were then photosynthesized into organic compounds. 3. After a period of time, the phloem sap was sampled from the aphid stylets. The amount of radioactive label present in the sap was measured. 4. By measuring the amount and r
