Phloem
In vascular plants, phloem is the tissue that carries organic nutrients, particularly sucrose. In trees, the phloem is part of the bark, hence the name, derived from the Greek word for "bark". See also xylem.
PHLOEM FUN
The fun never stops in the plant's circulatory system. Most plants have green leaves, where the photosynthesis happens. When those sugars are made, they need to be given to every cell in the plant for energy. Enter phloem.
phloem -- Nutrient-conducting tissue of vascular plants.
phosphate -- an ion consisting of a phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms. Among other things, it is used in the constuction of nucleic acids.
phloem
(floh-um) [Gk. phloos, bark]
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.

phloem 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.
Phloem, Sugar, and Translocation
Phloem consists of several types of cells: sieve tube cells (aka sieve elements), companion cells, and the vascular parenchyma. Sieve cells are tubular cells with endwalls known as sieve plates.
phloem. The food-conducting tissue of a plant, made up of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, and fibers.
phloem-feeding. An organism that withdraws nutrients from the food-conducting tissue of a plant's vascular system.
phloem - living conducting tissue of a plant, a system basically composed of sieve tubes, companion cells, fibers and sclereids to convey the products of photosynthesis, particularly sucrose, from the leaves to growing tissues.
phloem rays The part of the vascular ray which is located in the secondary phloem.
phloem The food-conducting tissue of vascular plants, composed of sieve elements, various kinds of parenchyma cells, fibers, and sclereids.
More on the phloem and food transport.
Cambium
During the growing season, mitosis in this band of meristematic tissue produces new phloem to the outside and new xylem to the inside.
Xylem
Xylem makes up the wood region.
Accordingly, the main vascular bundle of xylem and phloem present in the stem of a plant bifurcates into leaf traces, which are branches of vascular tissue that supply leaves.
[media:Any [[member of the more than 250,000 Species of flowering plants (division magnoliophyta) having roots, stems, leaves, and well-developed conductive tissues (xylem and phloem).
The xylem and phloem are vascular tissues found in complex plants. Their function is to transport water, mineral ions and organic nutrients from roots to leaves and leaves to roots.
Then the virus moves up the plant, through the equivalent of the plant bloodstream, the phloem.
