The differentiation of phloem in plant tissue cultures offers a unique opportunity to study the development and structure of sieve elements in a manner that avoids the injury responses associated with the processing of similar elements in intact plants. Short segments of sieve elements formed in tissue cultures can be fixed intact while the longer strands occuring in whole plants must be cut into shorter lengths before processing. While iyuch controversy surrounds the question of phloem function in tissue cultures , sieve elements formed in these cultured cells are structurally similar to those of Intact plants. We are particullarly Interested In the structure of the plasma membrane and the peripheral ER in these cells because of their possible role in the energy-dependent active transport of sucrose into the sieve elements.

AbstractCarbon nanotube systems can substantially increase their capacity for Li ion uptake, provided that the nanotube interiors become accessible to the ions. We examine theoretically, with ab initio simulations, the ability of Li ions to enter a nanotube interior. While our calculations show that it is quite unlikely for the ions to pass through pristine nanotubes, they are much more likely to enter via large-sized topological defects consisting of at least 9- or more membered rings. It is unlikely that such defects are formed spontaneously, but it may be possible to induce such topological defects by violent non-equilibrium means such as ball milling, chemical means and/or ion bombardment. Indeed, recent experiments on ball milled nanotube samples do report an important increase in the Li ion uptake.
