sap is translocated from areas of supply, called sources, to areas of metabolism or storage, called sinks. Which of the following statements about source and sink are TRUE?

a.) Sinks include any nonphotosynthetic organs of the plant and organs that do not produce enough photosynthetic products to support their own growth or storage needs

b.) Sources include exporting organs that are capable of producing photosynthate in excess of their own needs

c.) During the growing season of the first year, storage root is a sink, when it accumulates sugars received from the source leaves. During the second growing season the same root becomes a source

d.) Roots, tubers, developing fruits, and immature leaves, which must import carbohydrate for normal development, are all examples of sources tissues

Find the correct combination of the source and sink pattern of translocation.

Following figure regarding to regulatory network in the Arabidopsis shoot meristem stem-cell niche.

A. The transcription factor WUS is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the CLV3.

B. The transcription factor CLV3 is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the WUS.

C. Secreted CLV3 protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses WUS transcription.

D. Secreted WUS protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses CLV3 transcription.
