Researchers have investigated bidirectional transport by applying two different radiotracers to two source leaves, one above the other. Researcher wanted to see how bidirectional transport happens in sieve elements. Which one of the following is INCORRECT interpretation for bidirectional transport?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Transport in two directions has often been detected in sieve elements of different vascular bundles in stems
  2. Transport in two directions has also been seen in adjacent sieve elements of the same bundle in petioles
  3. simultaneous bidirectional transport in a single sieve element has also been demonstrated
  4. Bidirectional transport in adjacent sieve elements can occur in the petiole of a leaf that is undergoing the transition from sink to source and simultaneously importing and exporting photosynthates through its petiole
