The chito-oligosaccharide-specific lectin from pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) phloem exudate has been purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography on chitin. After SDS/PAGE in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol, the pumpkin phloem lectin yielded a single band corresponding to a molecular mass of 23.7 kDa, whereas ESI-MS (electrospray ionization MS) gave the molecular masses of the subunit as 24645 Da. Analysis of the CD spectrum of the protein indicated that the secondary structure of the lectin consists of 9.7% α-helix, 35.8% β-sheet, 22.5% β-turn and 32.3% unordered structure. Saccharide binding did not significantly affect the secondary and tertiary structures of the protein. The haemagglutinating activity of pumpkin phloem lectin was mostly unaffected in the temperature range 4-70 °C, but a sharp decrease was seen between 75 and 85 °C. Differential scanning calorimetric and CD spectroscopic studies suggest that the lectin undergoes a co-operative thermal unfolding process centred at ...

A flow-sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microimaging technique was applied to measure directly the in-vivo water flow in 6-d-old castor bean seedlings. The achieved in-plane resolution of the technique allowed discrimination between xylem and phloem water flow. Both the xylem- and the phloem-average flow velocities in the intact seedling could be quantified. Furthermore, the total conductive cross-sectional area of the xylem vessels and the phloem sieve elements could be determined using the non-invasive and non-destructive NMR microimaging technique. Hence, it was possible to calculate the in-vivo volume flow rates for both xylem and phloem water How. Our non-destructive technique showed that previously used methods to measure phloem water flow affected the flow rate itself. In the intact seedlings we found values of 16.6 mu l . h(-1), two fold lower than those previously estimated from phloem exudation rates. Finally, our results demonstrate for the first time that water is ...

Phloem sap proteins from pumpkin were identified by LC-MS/MS, following two-dimensional separation, using either cation or anion exchange chromatography in combination with SDS-PAGE. Polyacrylamide gel fragments were then processed for MS analysis. Additional phloem sap-derived proteins obtained from independent data sets (PTB-binding, RNA-binding, and CmPP16-, CmoFTL2- and eIF-5A-interacting proteins) were also included in the total data set described herein. Phloem sap proteins in anion and cation exchange eluants were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. A combination of a proprietary cucurbit EST database and the NCBI non-redundant green plant database was used to analyze these phloem proteins by Mascot and X!Tandem search engines, and the results were compiled with Scaffold.. A total of 345 LC-MS/MS data sets were processed in which 84,931 MS/MS spectra were assigned to 8,859 unique peptides with a 95% probability. The identified peptides were then assigned to 1,209 consensi using rigid filtering criteria ...

Pumpkin stem. Light micrograph of a section through phloem sieve tubes in the stem of a pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) plant. Each sieve tube element consists of cytoplasm along the cell wall and a central vacuole, containing slime-bodies (light green), and no nucleus. The top sieve tubes shows the transverse layer of cellulose, which is perforated by holes (red), known as the sieve plate, through which the slime flows forming a plug (callus). The contents flow up and down taking substances such sucrose (sugar) down to the roots and upwards to the shoot. To left of the phloem is a companion cell full of cytoplasm (dark green) and a nucleus. Magnification: x37 when printed 10 centimetres wide. - Stock Image C019/7067

Long distance transport in plants occurs in sieve tubes of the phloem. The pressure flow hypothesis introduced by Ernst Münch in 1930 describes a mechanism of osmotically generated pressure differentials that are supposed to drive the movement of sugars and other solutes in the phloem, but this hypothesis has long faced major challenges. The key issue is whether the conductance of sieve tubes, including sieve plate pores, is sufficient to allow pressure flow. We show that with increasing distance between source and sink, sieve tube conductivity and turgor increases dramatically in Ipomoea nil. Our results provide strong support for the Münch hypothesis, while providing new tools for the investigation of one of the least understood plant tissues ...

Top of Page. Vascular Cambium: The vascular cambium is a layer of meristematic tissue that lies between the primary phloem and primary xylem. As the vascular cambium adds new xylem cells toward the inside of the stem and phloem cells toward the outside of the stem, the vascular bundles eventually coalesce to form a complete ring. The girth of the plant increases due to cell divisions perpendicular to the stem surface. The new cell walls are laid down in a radial direction, which increases the girth of the stem. There is more xylem formed than phloem. The new xylem forms concentric rings around the pith while the secondary phloem pushes the primary phloem outward. The old phloem becomes crushed and eventually sloughs off. ...

Nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) are two of the most important nutrients for plant growth, and in the majority of plant species, they are transported in the phloem to sink organs in the form of amino acids and sucrose, respectively. Extensive studies have been performed on long-distance transport of sucrose. Sucrose transporters (SUC/SUT) were localized to the phloem of a number of plant species, and mutant analyses and antisense approaches demonstrated that the sucrose transporters play key roles in phloem loading of carbohydrates (for review, see Sauer, 2007; Tegeder et al., 2011). By contrast, molecular mechanisms for amino acid phloem loading remain unclear, although members of the ATF amino acid transporter family were suggested to be involved in this process (Lalonde et al., 2004; Tegeder and Rentsch, 2010).. Synthesis of amino acids mainly takes place in mature roots and source leaves, which export the N to supply sinks like flowers and seeds (Lam et al., 1996). Transport of amino acids to ...

In order to generate a tube system of low resistance, sieve elements lose most of their cellular components such as the nucleus, cytoskeleton, ribosomes, tonoplast etc.. Mature sieve elements contain structural phloem specific proteins (P-proteins), mitochondria, ER, and sieve elements plastids.. In plants, sieve tube cells lose their nuclei at maturity (just like our RBCs), and thus lose their chromosomal DNA, but they dont lose their mitochondria.. In eukaryotic cells Wikipedia has divided extrachromosomal DNA into three parts based on where it is seen (I guess):. ...

On-line, concurrent measurement of mass flow rate and size distribution of particles in a pneumatic suspension is desirable in many industries. This paper presents the basic principle of and initial results from a novel instrumentation system that uses a combination of electrostatic and digital imaging based sensors in order to achieve these goals. An inferential approach is adopted for the mass flow measurement of particles where velocity and volumetric concentration of particles are measured independently. The velocity of particles is determined by cross correlating two signals derived from a pair of electrostatic sensors, whilst the volumetric concentration of particles is obtained from a digital imaging sensor. The imaging sensor also provides particle size distribution data. Results obtained from a pneumatic conveyor system are presented which show good performance of the system for both mass flow metering (accurate to about ±4%) and particle sizing (reliable to around ±0.5%). A particle ...

Phytoplasmas have diverged from Gram-positive bacteria, and belong to the genus Phytoplasma within the class Mollicutes. They are plant pathogens, causing severe symptoms such as stunting, phyllody, witches broom, yellowing, and yield losses in over 300 economically important plant species worldwide. Transmission of phytoplasmas to plants occurs when insects feed from plant phloem. The bacteria are introduced into plant phloem with insect saliva. In plants, phytoplasmas remain restricted to the phloem tissue where they systemically spread throughout the plant. They are among the smallest self-replicating organisms known, and are characterized by a small genome with a low G+C content, and a lack of a firm cell wall. (EBI Integr8 ...

Lack of the DELLA domain of GAI results in constitutive activation of a mutant growth inhibitor whose genetically dominant action can no longer be opposed by GA. Since gai is a semi-dominant and gain-of-function mutation [8], integration of gai into WT results in a semi-dwarf phenotype, and this has contributed to the Green Revolution [29]. The stature of several crops, including rice [13], Chrysanthemum[30], tobacco [27], and apple [28], has been reduced by transformation with ΔDELLA-GAI (gai), as is the case for the Arabidopsis gai-1 allele. In all cases, ΔDELLA-GAI (gai) was expressed under the control of CaMV 35S (Cauliflower Mosaic Virus promoter 35S).. On the other hand, GAI mRNA is able to move through phloem, and is considered to function at the site(s) to which it has been transported [14, 18]. As plasmodesmata connect the functional enucleate sieve elements of the phloem to their neighboring companion cells [31], this pathway is considered to allow the selective entry of information ...

In general, two potential routes have been discussed for the loading of phloem with assimilates: the symplastic and apoplastic pathways. In terms of the classification of plants into symplastic or apoplastic loaders, Solanaceae represents a polytypic family encompassing species with relatively high plasmodesmata density between mesophyll and the sieve-element/companion-cell complex (intermediate type 1-2a; Datura, 1-10 plasmodesmata μm−2 interface) and species with low plasmodesmal connectivity (closed primitive type 2a; tobacco, 0.12 plasmodesmata μm−2 interface; potato, 0.08 plasmodesmata μm−2 interface; Gamalei, 1991). These data are supported by a detailed analysis of individual vein structure from potato leaves (McCauley and Evert, 1989).. A protein that could be responsible for phloem loading with sucrose was identified from potato via yeast complementation (Riesmeier et al., 1993). The tissue specificity (prevalence in the phloem), together with an observed increase in ...

As part of an elaborate long-distance communication system, plants have evolved a unique signaling pathway that takes advantage of connections in the vascular tissue, predominately the phloem. This information pathway has been implicated in regulating development, responding to biotic stress, delivering nutrients, and as a vehicle commandeered by viruses for spreading infections (Lough and Lucas, 2006). There are several experimental examples demonstrating that cosuppression of expression mediated by systemic acquired gene silencing involves RNA transport within the phloem (Sonoda and Nishiguchi, 2000; Crete et al., 2001).. Unlike cell-autonomous animal systems, plants move RNA and proteins from the cell of origin through the phloem to target sites to activate environmentally regulated and developmental processes. A recent study on flower induction presented evidence consistent with the transport of the mRNA of the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene to the shoot apex, where downstream floral genes were ...

Maintaining a specified gas flow rate to the vacuum chamber is essential to the proc ess. Typically, vacuum pumping stations require a throttle valve or an orifice-limiting device to control the pump s output when the sputtering gas is introduced. This method is extremely pressure sensitive and can result in inefficient gas delivery and poor product quality. The MFC automatically compensates for changes in system pressure caused by vacuum pump fluctuations, and delivers a precisely controlled gas mass flow rate to the chamber.. Other industrial applications include chemical tank blanketing, sparging airflow to fermenters and bioreactors, combustion control, gas fill, flame control, aluminum purification, laser and plasma welding, and gas blending.. Leak Testing. Stringent production test requirements demand fast, accurate, consistent readings that can be electronically stored for analysis. The most precise technique for leak testing is to use a thermal MFM to measure flow rate through a test ...

Figure 7. The variation in PO2 vs. depth for constant mass flow SCR versus the DCSC with lean and rich nitrox mixtures.. Each of the three light gray areas in Figure 7 above represent one of the three standard NATO mixes used for constant mass flow SCR. The upper line is the steady state partial pressure seen in the loop at low oxygen uptake, i.e. at rest. The lower line represents the partial pressure (as a result of a loop FO2 of 21%) that is the result of high oxygen uptake (2 L/min). The dashed field represent the DCSC using lean and rich mixes, note the much smaller variation and thus much better optimization between MOD and EAD. Also notable is that a divers with an extreme work capacity will not deplete the circuit from oxygen as can be done in the constant mass flow SCR.. The Warning System. If the time between two consequent additions of fresh gas is too long, the DCSC will give the diver a warning by adding a small but noticeable inspiratory breathing resistance, a small fresh gas flow ...

Results of three-dimensional steady flow calculations are compared with existing pressure and velocity-measurements of two manifold-type junctions. The junctions consist of a main duct and a side branch, both with the same rectangular cross section, with the side branch joining the main duct at an angle of either 90 or 45 degrees. Both combining and dividing flow configurations are considered for different total mass flow rates and different side-branch-to-main-duct mass flow ratios.One objective of this investigation was to assess the effects of numerical differencing scheme and mesh refinement on solution accuracy, and both parameters showed strong influences on the computed results. It is shown that calculations should be made with the highest possible level of numerical accuracy and grid resolution in regions of flow recirculation.Comparisons of computed and measured velocities, static pressures, and flow loss coefficients are presented in this paper. For most cases considered, the model ...

he MASS-VIEW® operates on the principle of direct thermal mass flow measurement. The thru-flow design sensor consists of a heater resistor and a temperature sensing resistor. Both resistors are made of temperature sensitive resistive material that is covered with a stainless steel tube. The necessary heating power to keep the temperature difference between the heater resistor and the sensing resistor at a constant level depends on the mass flow. A different and unique heater current is produced for each value of the flow. The measurement principle described is called Constant Temperature Anemometry (CTA).

Emerald ash borer in Canada was first detected in 2002, in Windsor, Ontario. By 2005, it had spread into Essex and Lambton counties and the municipalities of Chatham-Kent and Dutton/Dunwich. In 2006, it was detected in London, Ontario; and in 2007, as far east as Toronto. The insect has continued to spread in that province since, with infestations appearing as far north as Sault Ste. Marie and as far east as Ottawa and Prescott-Russell and Leeds-Grenville counties. In 2013, the beetle was detected in Frontenac County, Simcoe County, Peterborough County, the District of Algoma, and Manitoulin Island.. The presence of emerald ash borer in Quebecs Montérégie area was confirmed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in 2008. Infestation in Montreal and the Gatineau area were detected in 2011; Longueuil in 2012; and Terrebonne in 2013.. In 2014, CFIA consolidated the regulated areas within Ontario and Quebec into one larger regulated area.. All of these areas are regulated by federal ...

APHIS is proposing to remove the domestic quarantine regulations for the emerald ash borer (EAB). Eliminating this regulation is in keeping with USDAs goal of reducing regulations that have outlived their usefulness. The proposal would end APHIS domestic regulatory activities, which includes actions such as issuing permits, certificates and compliance agreements, making site visits, and conducting investigations of suspected violations, and instead direct all available resources toward managing the pest. APHIS remains committed to controlling this invasive pest and wants to conduct more research and release a greater number of biological control agents-tiny stingless wasps that are natural predators of the EAB-since biocontrol has shown the most promise for stopping EABs spread.. The open comment period for the proposed rule to remove the domestic quarantine regulations for the emerald ash borer (EAB) closed on November 19, 2018. APHIS is reviewing all comments received during the comment ...

The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) is a destructive exotic pest of North American ash (Fraxinus sp.) trees. Trunk injection of imidacloprid is commonly used to protect landscape ash trees from A. planipennis damage. Efficacy can vary and little is known about the distribution, accumulation and persistence of this compound in trees. Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and white ash (Fraxinus americana) trees were injected with 25 µCi of 14C-imidacloprid plus non-labeled imidacloprid and were grown under water-sufficient and water stress conditions. Tree trunks, twigs, leaves and roots were sampled periodically for two years following injection. Imidacloprid concentrations did not vary (P, 0.05) between tree species or water treatments. Imidacloprid concentrations differed (P, 0.001) among plant tissue types, leaves had much greater concentrations (,30×) than any of the other plant tissues. Imidacloprid concentrations in leaves increased steadily throughout ...

Phelipanche aegyptiaca parasitizes a wide range of plants, including important crops, and causes serious damage to their production. P. aegyptiaca develops a specialized intrusive organ called a haustorium that establishes connections to the hosts xylem and phloem. In parallel with the development of xylem vessels, the differentiation of phloem-conducting cells has been demonstrated by the translocation of symplasmic tracers from the host to the parasite. However, it is unclear yet whether haustorial phloem-conducting cells are sieve elements. In this study, we identified phloem-conducting cells in haustoria by the host-to-parasite translocation of green fluorescent protein (GFP) from AtSUC2pro::GFP tomato sieve tubes. Haustorial GFP-conducting cells contained nuclei but not callose-rich sieve plates, indicating that phloem-conducting cells in haustoria differ from conventional sieve elements. To ascertain why the nuclei were not degenerated, expression of the P. aegyptiaca homologs NAC-domain

Emerald Ash Borer is a non-native, highly destructive wood-boring beetle that feeds under the bark of ash trees. All species of ash are susceptible to attack, except mountain ash, which is not a true ash species. Since it was first identified in Michigan in 2002, EAB has killed millions of ash trees in Ontario and many parts of the United States. It poses a major economic and environmental threat to urban and forested areas. It was confirmed in Ottawa in 2008 and its impacts can be clearly seen spreading from the St. Laurent area. Since the insect spends most of its lifecycle under the bark of trees, it can be easily moved with firewood or other tree materials such as nursery stock, logs, brush and larger wood chips. This insect is able to fly, but since its spread has been primarily along major highways and transport routes, it is clear that humans are the main vector of dispersal.. ...

The City is responsible for maintaining or removing City-owned ash trees (in City road allowances, municipal parks and natural areas, and on the City-portion of private lots). Trees will only be removed if they are highly infested with the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) or if they become structurally unstable.. Private property owners are responsible for removing and disposing of affected ash trees on their properties. It is recommended that the owner use a certified arborist and ensure full compliance with the ministerial order for wood movement and disposal.. Home owners are still able to put leaves and branches under four inches in diameter and four feet in length out for curbside leaf and yard waste collection even if they are from ash trees. Residents can continue to bring their own leaf and yard waste to the Trail Waste Facility for free if it meets the above requirements. A fee of $90/tonne will apply to contractors and residents bringing in material greater than four inches in diameter. ...

The emerald ash borer is a very destructive insect pest of ash trees, the only known hosts of this borer in the United States. EAB is a slender, elongate insect about 1/3 - 1/2 inch long. It is widest just behind the head, gradually tapering back to the abdomen. It is a bright iridescent green to copper-green color, often with a copper colored area behind the head. Its body underneath the wings is a purplish-magenta color.

Emerald ash borer (EAB) arrived at the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania in 2012 and has rapidly been killing ash trees across the forest. Northern Research Station scientists, in partnership with State and Private Forestry, the Allegheny National Forest, and other partners, have been working on conserving white ash genetic diversity across the Allegheny. Using population genetic approaches, scientists determined that to optimize conservation of genetic diversity, insecticide application efforts should focus on treating many sites with at least 10 trees per site rather than treating many trees within a single site. The results also highlight how valuable it is to select the correct sites for treatment, with certain sites holding more genetic diversity than others. Performing genetic analyses before insecticide treatment and using that information to select sites with complementary genes can result in nearly a 30 percent cost savings. The results of this research will help forest managers ...

Having developed new-and-improved decoys that imitate female invasive insects the Emerald Ash Borer, scientists are hoping to preserve new-growth ash trees, the insects quarry.

The emerald ash borer life cycle can occur over one or two years depending on the time of year of oviposition, the health of the tree, and temperature.[5]. After 400-500 accumulated degree-days above 10 °C (50 °F), adults begin to emerge from trees in late spring, and peak emergence occurs around 1000 degree-days. After emergence, adults feed for one week on ash leaves in the canopy before mating, but cause little defoliation in the process.[6] Males hover around trees, locate females by visual cues, and drop directly onto the female to mate; mating can last 50 minutes, and females may mate with multiple males over their lifespan.[7] A typical female can live around six weeks and lay approximately 40-70 eggs, but females that live longer can lay up to 200 eggs.[6]. Eggs are deposited between bark crevices, flakes, or cracks and hatch about two weeks later. Eggs are approximately 0.6 to 1.0 millimeter (0.02 to 0.04 in) in diameter, and are initially white, but later turn reddish-brown if ...

Assimilates produced during photosynthesis in mature leaves are distributed by the phloem system to support the growth of heterotrophic organs. The flow of assimilates such as Suc starts with symplastic cell-to-cell transport through mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells, after which they are loaded into the sieve element (SE)-companion cell (CC) complex.. Plasmodesmal frequencies between the SE-CC complex and the adjacent cells in minor veins have been studied in many plant species. Gamalei (1989) defined two types of minor veins, an open type 1 with numerous plasmodesmal connections between the SE-CC complex and the adjacent cells and a closed type 2 with a reduced number of plasmodesmal connections. The minor vein phloem of angiosperms is composed of phloem parenchyma cells, SEs, and CCs. In type 2 species, the CCs are often specialized as transfer cells. These are defined as cells with cell wall ingrowths and an enlarged plasma membrane surface area (Gunning and Pate, 1969) increasing the ...

EN] Potato plants were grown in open-top chambers under three ozone concentrations during two complete cropping seasons (93 and 77 d in 2004 and 2005, respectively). The effects of chronic exposure to ozone on leaf anatomy, cell ultrastructure and crop yield were studied. Severe cell damage was found, even at ambient ozone levels, mainly affecting the spongy parenchyma and areas near the stomata. Damage to the cell wall caused loss of cell contact, and loss of turgor pressure due to tonoplast disintegration, contributed to cell collapse. Phloem sieve plates were obstructed by callose accumulation, and damaged mesophyll cells increased their starch stores. Tuber yield fell sharply (24-44%), due to the biggest tubers becoming smaller, which affected commercial yield. These anatomical findings show the mechanisms of ozone effect on assimilate partitioning, and thus crop yield decrease, in potato. Further implications of ozone causing reductions in belowground biomass are also discussed ...

Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: In 2003, the ARS Beneficial Insects Introduction Research Unit at Newark, DE, initiated studies on natural enemies of the Emerald Ash Borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), a new invasive species lethal to Ash trees (Fraxinus spp.). First discovered in Michigan in 2002, it probably was introduced into the U.S. at least five years earlier from Asia, its native origin. In 2003-2004, explorations for natural enemies of the pest were conducted in Japan, Korea, and Mongolia, but no suitable populations of the borer were found. Therefore, explorations in 2005-2006 will be conducted in China. In 2005, we started searching for natural enemies of native ...

To move from plant to plant, some viruses, such as potato leafroll virus, need to stay in the infected plants phloem tissues so they can be ingested by a feeding aphid. Once inside the aphid, the virus must pass through the insects gut and salivary tissues before it can be passed into another plant by the aphid. To complete that journey, viruses need to assemble into larger packages known as virions. Each virus species is very particular and can only be transmitted by a few species of aphids. The researchers believe the outside shape or topology of the virion plays a major role in that specificity, determining whether a virus will move through the aphid and infect a plant ...

Salinity is a major abiotic stress in agriculture. Here, we report that SODIUM POTASSIUM ROOT DEFECTIVE3 (NaKR3), which encodes a heavy metal-associated domain protein, is involved in salt tolerance in Arabidopsis. The results of quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that NaKR3 was induced by high salinity and osmotic stresses, but not by Cu2+ stress. Transient expression of NaKR3-GFP in Arabidopsis protoplasts showed that the NaKR3 protein was localized in the cytosol.

Swellings on the leaves result from hyperplasia and hypertrophy of phloem cells of infected plants. Inclusion bodies, about 6.5 µm in diameter and stainable with giemsa, azure II, pyronin, trypan blue or acetocarmine, appear within neoplastic cells (Kashiwagi, 1966) (Fig.8). Ultrathin sections of diseased leaves reveal the inclusions as granular structures ( viroplasm ) within hypertrophied phloem cells (Fig.7). Small particles of c. 50-55 nm occur in the viroplasms and large particles c. 75-80 nm are scattered in the surrounding cytoplasm (Fig.11). Large particles are sometimes seen arranged within tubular structures (Fig.10). Crystalline aggregates composed of large particles are also found in the infected cells (Shikata, 1969). In infected insect cells, large areas of the cell cytoplasm are occupied by viroplasms, identical with those in infected plant cells. Large particles are usually scattered in the cytoplasm around the viroplasms, or arranged within tubular structures and in crystalline ...

Aphids ingest their food from sieve tubes (Auclair, 1963; Miles, 1987; Prado and Tjallingii, 1994) that contain a concentrate of nutrients (Hayashi and Chino, 1990; van Bel, 2003). Sieve-tube sap is withdrawn by specialized aphid mouth parts (stylets) (Auclair, 1963; Miyazaki, 1987). Prior to ingestion, aphids secrete watery saliva, probably to interfere with plant occlusion reactions induced by stylet damage (Will and van Bel, 2006; Will et al., 2007; Will et al., 2009; Carolan et al., 2009).. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reconstructions demonstrate relatively straightforward stylet progression through the extravascular tissue that occurs largely intercellularly. The stylet orientation becomes increasingly diffuse within the vascular bundle region, as the TEM reconstructions show several dead-end tracks of gel saliva, which is secreted to function as a lubrication and protection sheath for the fragile mouth parts (Tjallingii and Hogen Esch, 1993). Even punctured sieve tubes are ...
