Transport of phosphorus in plant P adsorbed from the roots is transported in the xylem to young leaves. The xylem contains mostly inorganic P P can also be transported from older leaves to younger leaves - and from the shoots to the roots-in the phloem. The process is known as re-translocation The phloem can contain both organic and inorganic P So the P is remobilization in plant– P adsorbed from the roots is transported in the xylem to young leaves. The xylem contains mostly inorganic P. – P can also be transported from older leaves to younger leaves – and from the shoots to the roots – in the phloem. The process is known as re-translocation. – The phloem can contain both organic and inorganic P. – So the P is remobilization in plant. Transport of phosphorus in plant
