Vascular tissue specialized for the transport of sap containing sugars and other substances

Phloem is a tissue that contain the vascular cells that carries photosyntheti c products throughout the plant. The conduction cells in the phloem are the sieve-tube members.

nutrient conducting tissue in woody plants

The plant tissue that transports soluble food and minerals around a plant body (if the plant has vascular tissue). It takes food from the leaves where it is produced and carries it around the rest of the plant body, even the roots. It is a relatively complex plant tissue, with hollow tubes being developed from living cells joined end to end. These sieve cells are closely supported by companion cells that carry out all of the normal cell functions and look after the needs of their attached sieve cell.

cells that carry sugar and nutrients from the leaves to all parts of a tree A tree's food is moved around the tree in cells called the phloem.

The living tissue in plants which functions primarily to transport metabolic compounds from the site of synthesis or storage to the site of utilization.

The layer of cells that forms a pipeline to carry sugars and other food materials from the leaves (where they are produced) to the branches, roots, and the rest of the tree. The cells produced on the outside of the cambium become part of the phloem. Some of the phloem cells age and die each year, and they become part of the outer bark.

Vascular tissue composed of cells that are living at maturity; transports the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant body.

a type of vascular tissue, in flowering plants it contains sieve-tubes and companion cells supported by ground tissue and also flowers. The phloem conducts food materials synthesized by the leaves, to all parts of the plant.

n. (Gr. phloios, inner bark) the tissue involved in the transport of carbohydrates and food materials in a vascular plant, being composed of sieve elements, parenchyma cells and sometimes also of fibers and sclereids.

structures of vascular plants that transport sugars and other nutrients from the leaves to the other parts of the plant.

(flo´ um) [Gr. phloos: bark] • In vascular plants, the food-conducting tissue. It consists of sieve cells or sieve tubes, fibers, and other specialized cells.

A kind of tissue made of tubes that carry food through a plant.

The food-conducting vessels in leaves, stems and roots.

a vascular tissue whose principal function is the translocation of sugars and other nutrients. Consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, parenchyma and sclerenchyma. See also sieve tubes, sieve plates and companion cells.

Tissue used in vascular plants to transport food.

The part of the tree that is produced through the growth of cambium cells in an outward direction. It may also be called secondary phloem. The sap produced by the leaves travels through the phloem tissue downwards in the tree. Compared with the xylem (wood), the phloem occupies a very small part of the tree.

the tissue that carries food to the growing parts of the plant. The tissue is composed of sieve tubes which are specially designed food-conducting cells.

(botany) tissue that conducts synthesized food substances (e.g., from leaves) to parts where needed; consists primarily of sieve tubes

Nutrient-conducting vessels found throughout the plant. Phloem vessels transport nutrients produced in the foliage down through the stems, branches, or trunk to the roots.

Food transporting tissue of a plant.

Plant vascular tissue composed of specialized cells that conduct photosynthate throughout the plant body.

the sap carrying layer of the tree.

a tissue that carries dissolved sugars in plants

The tubes which carry food in a plant's stem.

Part of the vascular system of a tree which allows sap and nutrients to descend. The xylem is the corresponding tissue allowing sap to rise.

the conductive tissue of a plant that translocates manufactured foods within the plant

A spongy layer which stores food manufactured in leaves and transports it to other parts of the tree (inner bark)

produced by the cambium and carries food from leaves to twigs, branches, trunk, and roots

Small tubes that carry food from where it is photosynthesized in the leaves to the roots and other places in the plant where it is used and stored.

Plant tissue that functions as a conduit for the movement (translocation) of sugars and other plant nutrients.

food-conducting tissue of tree just outside of cambium.

photosynthate conducting tissue of vasular plants

The portion of the vascular system in plants consisting of living cells arranged into elongated tubes that transport sugar and other organic nutrients throughout the plant.

A layer of tree tissue just inside the bark that conducts food from the leaves to the stem and roots.

The photosynthate conducting tissue in vascular plants.

The part of the vascular system in plants where the sap moves from the site of production (i.e. leaves) to the site of use (i.e. roots).

Vascular tissue with a photosynthate (food) conducting function. True phloem consists of living, thin-walled cells, typified by sieve areas in the walls of some of the cells.

Tissue in the vascular system of plants that moves dissolved sugars and other products of photosynthesis from the leaves to other regions of the plant. Phloem tissue consists of cells called sieve tubes and companion cells. Cells of the vascular system in plants that transport food from leaves to other areas of the plant.

a protective layer made up of tiny tubes that transport the sugars from the leaves to the rest of the tree.

the tissue in the conducting system of a plant through which metabolites (products of chemical reactions in the plant) are transported.

a complex tissue in the vascular system of plants that consists mainly of sieve tubes and elongated cells, functioning in support and storage See also: xylem

the food-conducting tissue of vascular plants.

This is a plant transport tissue. It transports food from where it is made to other parts of the plant.

In African Violets and other plants, the vascular tissue which transports nutrients and plant carbohydrates from the leaves to other parts of the plant. Also see Xylem.

The tissue in land plants that conducts organic food material.

One of the conducting tissues in the vascular system. Phloem, unlike xylem, is mainly a living tissue, whose cells contain cytoplasm. The phloem can translocate substances in both directions, and its main function is to translocate the products of photosynthesis from leaves to other parts of the plant.

(Inner bark) The layer of cells that transports nutrients from the crown to the roots.

The part of a tree that carries sap from the leaves to the rest of the tree. Also called inner bark.

The inner part of a tree's bark that delivers water and other nutrients.

Conductive tissue found between the sapwood and outer bark of trees or other woody plants.

the part of the vascular system that moves food through the plant.

Specialised tissue for transporting materials around a plant; usually situated between the bark and the wood.

Nutrient-conducting tissue of vascular plants.

Food conducting tissue in vascular plants.

Food-conducting tissue, consisting of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, and fibers. ()

Flo-em) Food transporting vascular plant tissues or vessels of plants. Also referred to as "Bast."

In vascular plants, phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients, particularly sucrose, to all parts of the plant where needed. In trees, the phloem is underneath and difficult to distinguish from bark, hence the name, derived from the Greek word phloios for "bark".
