Phloem tissues are exquisitely difficult to probe experimentally. The biomimetic approach based on synthetic phloem devices might prove useful by allowing to uncover the dynamics and physicochemical couplings of the phloem. In this chapter we discuss the design of a synthetic microfluidic device simulating phloem transport, and the importance of such a device in testing various hypotheses of phloem physiology.

Proper regulation of the source-sink relationship is an effective way to increase crop yield. Gibberellin (GA) is an important regulator of plant growth and development, and physiological evidence has demonstrated that GA can promote source-sink sucrose partitioning. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.

Nano-TiO as an antimicrobial inorganic material, can stimulate cells to produce reactive oxygen species and exhibit effective biochemical properties; however, phenylpyrazole derivatives, as organic pesticides, are widely used in agriculture and food. To find novel pesticides with environmental friendliness, combined with three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) prediction analysis, three types of alkaloidal phenylpyrazole amine derivatives (PA) were synthesized by a one-pot microwave method. Based on the dye sensitization strategy, four nano-organometallic pesticides (PT) were prepared by organic-inorganic hybridization.

Microbe-Assisted Phytoremediation (MAP) is an eco-friendly method for remediating soil contaminated with heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr). This study demonstrates the potential of a king grass-Serratia marcescens strain S27 (KS) co-symbiotic system to enhance heavy metal remediation. The KS symbiosis increased the biomass of king grass by 48 % and enhanced the accumulation of Cd and Cr in the whole plant by 2.

Numerous studies in various species have demonstrated that the application of an electric field can improve plant growth. However, plants showed inconsistent responses and the background mechanism for responses to electric fields remain unclear. Here, to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms involved in electric field-induced changes in physiology, we investigated the effects of electric fields on the growth and development of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

In higher plants, sugars are the primary products of photosynthesis, where CO is converted into organic carbon within the mesophyll cells of leaves. These sugars serve as a critical source of carbon skeletons for the biosynthesis of essential cellular compounds, energy production, and as osmotic and signaling molecules. Plant sugar transporter proteins play a key role in facilitating the long-distance translocation of sugars from source to sink organs, thereby controlling their distribution and accumulation across the plant.
