I know that hydrenchyma is water storing parenchyma cells, which makes sense since Nymphaea is a water lily of some sort. however, all the anatomical features I was able to identify were spongy ...

Eventually water moves to the xylem vessels behind ions that are passively transported from the xylem parenchyma to the xylem through the inwardly rectifying channels. New portions of water entering xylem vessels push it higher and higer. Such situation ...

However, if auxin transport proteins are only located at the bottom of cells, how does the auxin ...
