Introduction:

The plant organs, which produce the sugar (glucose) by photosynthetic pathway or splitting of starch into glucose, are called sugar sources. The mature leaves are the example of sugar sources. The plant organs, which are centers for the consumption of glucose and also act as a depository for the sugar molecules, are called sugar sinks. The fruits, stems, buds, and growing roots are sugar sinks.
