Species-Specific and Distance-Dependent Dispersive Behaviour of Forisomes in Different Legume Species

Forisomes are giant fusiform protein complexes composed of sieve element occlusion (SEO) protein monomers, exclusively found in sieve elements (SEs) of legumes. Forisomes block the phloem mass flow by a Ca<sup>2+</sup>-induced conformational change (swelling and rounding). We studied the...
