Extreme climatic events: impacts of drought and high temperature on physiological processes in agronomically important plants (2014, background): “The export of nutrients and assimilates from source leaves to sink organs is important for the development of vegetative and reproductive organs and for the overall performance of crop plants (Van Bel, 2003).”
Short‐term variation in the isotopic composition of organic matter allocated from the leaves to the stem of Pinus sylvestris: effects of photosynthetic and postphotosynthetic carbon isotope fractionation (2006, methodology): “A possible explanation of 13C enrichment during basipetal allocation is provided by the dynamic Münch mass flow model recently reviewed by Van Bel (2003).”
Scaling phloem transport: information transmission (2004, background): “There is considerable experimental evidence, both direct and circumstantial, that solute flux in the phloem is controlled by a pressure feedback regulatory system, though the details of such a system are not yet known (Lalonde et al. 2003; van Bel 2003).”
The plant vascular system: evolution, development and functions. (2013, background): “…transport cells increases from the bryophytes (pretracheophytes—also termed non-vascular plants—the liverworts, mosses and hornworts ), to the early tracheophytes, the vascular cryptogams (lycophytes and pterophytes), on through to seed plants (Ligrone et al. 2000, 2012; Raven 2003; van Bel 2003).”
Modeling xylem and phloem water flows in trees according to cohesion theory and Münch hypothesis (2005, background): “The recent reviews by van Bel (2003) and Lalonde et al. (2003) have shown that we are gradually starting to understand the physiology of phloem transport but van Bel (2003) also points out that the linking of the physiology with environmental variation is a further challenge in this field.”
Source-to-sink transport of sugar and regulation by environmental factors (2013, background): “These different pathways concern the loading of sucrose in the so-called collection phloem (Van Bel, 2003) which represents the initial step of long-distance transport.”
