Explain how sieve tubes manage to be living?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Sieve tube elements of phloem tissue lack nucleus but still they manage to live. This is because they are connected to the companion cells of phloem tissue via numerous plasmodesmata. Both sieve tube elements and companion cells develop from the same meristematic cell and form a functional unit. Companion cells provide proteins, ATP, and other signalling molecules to the sieve tube member as it contains extra number of mitochondria and ribosomes
