Mineral nutrients Transport in Plants: Long Distance Pathway

This lecture described the process of loading solutes in the xylem and the different transporters involved in xylem loading. Then discussed the xylem transport of solutes and how they moved in the xylem. Factors affecting xylem sap and solute concentration were discussed thoroughly. The nutrient re-translocation and xylem uptake from surrounding cells were discussed thoroughly. The role of different transporters such as pumps, channels and carriers was discussed thoroughly during xylem unloading. The phloem transport is also crucial for solute transport, which is also connected with the xylem long-distance pathway discussed. The role of remobilization of nutrients during seed germination, vegetative phase and reproductive stage discussed. Therefore, this lecture is the full pacakge, for those who are preparing for both pre and main life science exams such as ICAR-JRF, SRF, CSIR, JET, IIT-JAM, DBT and other exams. I hope this lecture clears your concept of solute transport.
