Identification and expression characterization of the Phloem Protein 2 (PP2) genes in ramie (Boehmeria nivea L. Gaudich)

Abstract Phloem protein 2 (PP2) is one of the most abundant and enigmatic proteins in sieve elements and companion cells, which play important roles in the maintenance of morphology, photoassimilate transportation and wound protection in higher plants, but to date, no PP2 (BnPP2) genes had been iden...
