In vascular plants, the living tissue known as phloem transports the soluble organic chemicals produced during photosynthesis from the leaves downward.

  • Living cells are organized end to end in phloem. Phloem vessels, in contrast to xylem, contain cytoplasm, which travels via holes from one cell to the next.
  • Amino acids and sucrose are transported up and down the plant by phloem. Translocation is the term for this.
  •  In a process known as Translocation  or transfer of sugar, sugars produced in sources, such as leaves, must be transported to growing regions of the plant via the phloem
