The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Source-to-sink transport of sugar and regulation by environmental factors (2013, background): “Sucrose can act as a signal and regulate many genes involved in growth and development (Koch, 2004; Muller et al., 2011).”
How tree roots respond to drought (2015, background): “However, recent evidence indicates that, under water deﬁcit, the growth of sink organs such as roots is uncoupled from photosynthesis (Muller et al., 2011).”
Effect of Drought Stress at Reproductive Stages on Growth and Nitrogen Metabolism in Soybean (2020, background): “Plants have evolved various mechanisms, including changing morphological structure, regulating water transport, regulating nutrient synthesis and redistribution, superoxide anion scavenging mechanism, osmotic substance regulation, and hormone regulation, to adapt to adverse conditions [8,9].”
Paradigm shift in plant growth control. (2015, methodology): “In this essay, I will summarize evidence against the assumption of a growth limiting role of photosynthesis (source activity) under normal daylight conditions in the field, and will advocate a broader perception of what crop research and plant physiology have already arrived at, namely that tissue g”
