Optimal concentration for sugar transport in plants [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2013 Vascular plants transport energy in the form of sugars from the leaves where they are produced to sites of active growth. The mass flow of sugars through the phloem vascular system is determined by the sap flow rate and the sugar concentration. If the concentration is low, little energy is transferred from source to sink.

Inter-species comparative analysis of components of soluble sugar concentration in fleshy fruits [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The soluble sugar concentration of fleshy fruit is a key determinant of fleshy fruit quality. It affects directly the sweetness of fresh fruits and indirectly the properties of processed products (e.g. alcohol content in wine).
