Summary Introduction
Introduction: Phloem vessels present in the vascular tubes are involved in transporting the prepared food (glucose) from leaves to all parts of the plants. Specialized types of elongated and slender tube found in the phloem tube are called as sieve tubes or sieve elements. Sieve tubes are characteristics of flowering plants. Sieve tube transports carbohydrates to different parts of the plant.
