Plants store glucose as starch for the nighttime hours when photosynthesis cannot occur. Most green plant cells only store enough starch to last the night. This is to allow for the majority of sugar to be sent to sink tissues (roots and flowers). Most annual plants will allow the majority of the vegetative tissue to die, if it means that healthy seed can be produced.
