Preliminary Program for the Workshop Sessions
Phloem Imaging
Michael Knoblauch and Alexander Schulz:
- Fixed material: highlights and problems (TEM /SEM)
- Live material: highlights and problems (CLSM)
Functional Phloem Anatomy I
Michael Knoblauch:
- General overview of the sieve tube system
- Angiosperm Anatomy
Functional Phloem Anatomy II
Alexander Schulz: Development of the transport phloem in non-angiosperm plants with focus on gymnosperms
Johannes Liesche:Pre-phloem pathway and phloem loading in gymnosperms
Alexander Schulz and Michael Knoblauch: General discussion on the functional anatomy of the phloem in seeds plants (comprising angiosperms and gymnosperms)
Phloem Physiology: Function, Signaling and Growth
Aart van Bel:
- Analytical and integrative approach to phloem phsiology. Sectional (collection, transport, release phloem) activities collectively lead to mass transfer of solutes at diverse rates. Potential impact of distribution patterns on growth rate
- Signaling via the phloem, the communication pathway par excellence. Electrical, proteinaceous and RNA signaling.
- Cambial development. Symplasmic coupling rate as steering principle in vascular development
Short talks (15 min + 5 min discussion)
John Bush: Nectar drinking
Johannes Liesche: Regulation of cell coupling in apoplasmic phloem loaders
Helle Juel Martens: Development of phloem after grafting
Maurizio Mencuccini: Further developing the Sevanto approach to detect tree phloem transport properties using a dendrometer

Kaare Jensen: Resistor based one-dimensional phloem flow models and their connection to differential equation based models. Scaling analysis of Münch flow
Phloem Translocation Models II
Peter Minchin and André Lacointe: Modeling phloem transport and carbon partitioning in complex architectures
