Inside Bamboo Nodes: How Plants Control Mineral Flow

Plants rely on efficient internal transport systems to distribute essential mineral nutrients, yet how this distribution is spatially organized within complex plant structures remains poorly understood. This study reveals that nodes--distinct junctions connecting different plant organs--play a central role in coordinating mineral element deposition and transport in bamboo. By systematically examining the internal vascular architecture of different node types and mapping the spatial distribution of key mineral elements, the research demonstrates that nodes function not merely as structural connectors but as active hubs that regulate nutrient allocation. The findings provide new insight into how plants manage mineral distribution under varying growth conditions and highlight nodes as critical control points within plant vascular networks.
