Once sugars are made in the leaves, how do they get to the rest of the plant? In this episode of Deep Dive, we explore the fascinating process of assimilate transport—the movement of organic compounds like glucose and sucrose through the phloem. 🌱🧬 Learn how the pressure-flow mechanism works, how source and sink tissues coordinate, and why this process is essential for plant growth, storage, and reproduction. From sweet fruits to growing roots, sugars go where they’re needed. Let’s follow the energy highway inside every plant! 🚛🍓🔬
