Translocation in Plants – Steps ,Phloem Structure , Importance and Factors Affecting Translocation
Translocation is the process by which plants transport nutrients from the site of absorption to the site of utilization. This process occurs mainly in the phloem tissue which is composed of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibers and parenchyma cells. The steps of translocation include loading, transport, unloading and utilization of nutrients. Factors such as temperature, light and nutrient availability can affect the rate of translocation.
