PHLOEM TRAVEL. “Acclimation to environmental conditions is vital for plants. At the whole-plant level, this is aided by long distance signalling between organs, which is important both for plant development and defence responses. Long-distance signalling molecules can be transported through the phloem, in enucleated cells called sieve elements. mRNA is also able to move in sieve elements, and some mobile transcripts have been shown to give rise to developmental differences at distal locations.”
