Sugars (usually sucrose), amino acids and other organic molecules enter the sieve elements through plasmodesmata connecting them to adjacent companion cells. Once within the sieve elements, these molecules can be transported either up or down to any region of the plant moving at rates as high as 110 μm per second.

Each ring consists of an area of light-colored wood (spring wood) that is formed during the spring when water is readily available for plant growth, and an area of dark wood (summer wood) that is formed late in the growing season when water availability is starting to decrease.
