Also written as sieve tube. A tubular cell or tissue made of such cells that is found in the phloem (bast) of a plant body and is its main component. Sieve tube cells are connected vertically, and the septum that connects them is called the sieve plate and is pierced by numerous small holes called sieve holes. Thus, sieve tubes have a long tubular structure and function as a passageway. While xylems are the passageway for water to ascend, sieve tubes are the passageway for nutrients to descend. In grapes and other plants, callus is deposited on both sides of the sieve plate in the fall, closing off the passageway for nutrients, but it reopens the following spring.

篩管とも書く。植物体の師部 (靭皮部) にあり,その主要な構成要素となっている管状の細胞,またはその細胞から成る組織。師管細胞は縦に連なり,その互いに接する隔膜は師板といい,多数の師孔という小孔によって貫かれている。したがって師管は長い管の構造をもっており,通道の作用をしている。道管が水分上昇の通道をなしているのに対し,師管は養分下降の通道をなしている。ブドウなどでは秋になると師板の両側にはカルスが沈着してこの養分の通路は閉ざされるが,翌春再び開通する。
