Avascular bundle is a part of the transport system invascular plants. The transport itself happens in thestem, which exists in two forms:xylem andphloem. Both these tissues are present in a vascular bundle, which in addition will include supporting and protective tissues. There is also a tissue between xylem and phloem, which is thecambium.
The xylem typically lies towards the axis (adaxial) with phloem positioned away from the axis (abaxial). In a stem or root this means that the xylem is closer to the centre of the stem or root while the phloem is closer to the exterior. In a leaf, the adaxial surface of the leaf will usually be the upper side, with the abaxial surface the lower side.
The sugars synthesized by the plant with sun light are transported by the phloem, which is closer to the lower surface.Aphids andleaf hoppers feed off of these sugars by tapping into the phloem. This is why aphids and leaf hoppers are typically found on the underside of a leaf rather than on the top. The position of vascular bundles relative to each other may vary considerably: seestele. The vascular bundle are depend on size of veins

The bundle-sheath cells are the photosynthetic cells arranged into a tightly packed sheath around the vein of a leaf. It forms a protective covering on the leaf vein and consists of one or more cell layers, usuallyparenchyma. Loosely-arrangedmesophyll cells lie between the bundle sheath and the leaf surface. TheCalvin cycle is confined to thechloroplasts of these bundle sheath cells inC4 plants.C2 plants also use a variation of this structure.[1]
