Earlier theoretical analyses of the rate of propagation of pressure-concentration waves in the phloem were performed without adequate attention to the elastic expansion of sieve tube walls. Here, it is shown that the rate of propagation of pressure-concentration waves in phloem sieve tubes is not si
