Pressure-flow hypothesis
A model explaining the transport of organic substances in the phloem. Sugar is actively loaded into the sieve tubes (source), causing water to flow in by osmosis, creating high hydrostatic pressure that drives the solution towards the sites of sugar utilization (sink).
Original version
Slėgio srauto hipotezė
