COMPETING NEEDS. “One of the most serious tasks of plant life is achieving balance, over a wide range of environmental conditions, between carbon assimilation in source photosynthetic tissues, and consumption of assimilates in sink tissues and organs resulting in growth and carbon storage. The diurnal rhythm of photosynthesis, moreover, results in a need to put aside a part of assimilates during the day to cover the demands of both assimilatory and sink tissues during the night.”
