The rate of phloem transport is primarily determined by the concentration of dissolved sugars, which is influenced by factors like the rate of photosynthesis, cellular respiration, transpiration, and the diameter of sieve tubes.

| Front | the rate of phloem transport will principally be determined by the concentration of dissolved sugars in the phloem, which will be affected by: |
|---|---|
| Back | rate of photosynthesis, rate of cellular respiration (physical stressors), rate of transpiration, diameter of the sieve tubes (hydrostatic pressure) |
