MeSH definition : Plant tissue that carries nutrients, especially sucrose, by turgor pressure. Movement
is bidirectional, in contrast to XYLEM where it is only upward. Phloem originates
and grows outwards from meristematic cells (MERISTEM) in the vascular cambium. P-proteins,
a type of LECTINS, are characteristically found in phloem.;
