HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Sugars produced in sources, such as leaves, need to be delivered to growing parts of the plant via the phloem in a process called translocation, or movement of sugar. The points of sugar delivery, such as roots, young shoots, and developing seeds, are called sinks.

Detailed explanation-2: -There has been a consensus in the phloem transport field for over 50 years that sucrose is the predominant sugar carried in the sieve tubes of most species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phloem are tissues that look like tubes. They transport sugars throughout the plant and supply it to tissues like roots, flowers and fruits that depend on this sugar to grow.
