If plants make less sugar due to impaired photosynthesis, will it affect the sugar concentration in the fruit?
I’m thinking of doing a science fair on this. If you pollute a small fruit tree and clog the stomata in the leaves, the plant would make less sugar. But would that affect the amount of sugar in the fruit? Since sugar is transported from the plant to the fruit.

There is logic and economic value in your hypothesis. If it is valid, then there is more reasons for a producer to try to prevent pollution of their crops. It would take an entire growing season and multiple plants to test the hypothesis. You would have to have control plants to compare the sugar concentrations in the fruits. You will need to have a device or method to determine the sugar concentrations. There are devices that are used in making wine (refractometers) that would be the easiest method.
