(c) The relationship between the source and sink is variable and depends upon season or need of plant. In early spring season, roots act as source, while the buds of plant begin to behave like utilisation site. Similarly, during flowering and fruit ripening, the flowers and fruits acts like sink region and their source or supply of organic nutrient is completed from the site or photosynthesis, which are green young and older leaves of plants |
