Sieve element sap is rich in sugars and other organic molecules, These molecules represent an energy investment for the plant. How their loss be prevented when sieve elements are damaged?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Short-term sealing mechanisms not involve sap proteins
  2. long-term mechanism for preventing sap loss entails closing sieve plate pores with callose   
  3. For preventing sap loss using smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) which covers the sieve areas  
  4. long-term mechanism for preventing sap loss opening of the sieve tube in angiosperm
