All plants translocate sucrose and some also transport other sugars such as stachyose, or sugar alcohols such as sorbitol. Many other organic compounds including amino acids, proteins, and hormones are also translocated via phloem. Translocation involves the transport of products of photosynthesis including, sugar, amino acids, hormones by phloem to the rest of plants.
