Abstract
Fifty years ago botanists were convinced that the photosynthetically produced sucrose in the green leaves of autotrophic plants is transported into the sieve elements and translocated via the symplast to the sinks, where it is used to make cytoplasm and carbohydrates, especially those of the cell walls. Anatomic investigations appeared to be necessary.
