Example sentences for: apoplastic
How can you use “apoplastic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
EPI1 inhibits plant apoplastic proteases—extracellular enzymes that are part of the host's defensive armoury that have evolved to prevent foreign proteins entering cells.
One might speculate that by increasing membrane permeability to polyols and/or other metabolites, some plant AQPs could be involved in long-distance apoplastic transport or signaling rather than in the bulk secretion of, for example, glycerol.
For example, cecropin expression in transgenic tobacco did not confer resistance to P. syringae pv tabaci [ 18 ] , likely due to low apoplastic peptide concentrations due to proteolysis [ 19 ] . Therefore, prior to this work it was not clear whether a peptide antibiotic could play a role in the inhibition of galling by tumorigenic Agrobacterium in planta.
Because the movement of water through plants and plant tissues involves several barriers, including apoplastic, symplastic and transcellular ones, a single set of measures of overall hydraulic conductivity, although useful, is not sufficient for determining how particular AQPs function in planta .
A combined pathway for water through the apoplastic (cell wall) space and through cells, either transcellularly across the cell wall, or through the symplast via plasmodesmata, placed little emphasis on membrane barriers impeding such movement.
