Translocation is the movement of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant. Nutrients are translocated from sources (regions of excess carbohydrates, primarily mature leaves) to sinks (regions where the carbohydrate is needed). All plants translocate sucrose and some also transport other organic compounds, including amino acids, proteins and hormones.
