Plants utilize xylem and phloem to transport water, nutrients, and minerals throughout their structures. Xylem moves water and mineral salts from roots to leaves, while phloem transports sugars and amino acids from leaves to the rest of the plant. Nutrient acquisition involves passive and active tra

Root and stem in plants form a continuous structure with a transition region between them. The transition involves twisting and inversion of xylem strands, leading to variations in vascular bundles. Eames and Mac Daniels identified different types of vascular transitions in dicots and monocots, each

The phloem plays a vital role in transporting sugars and organic materials throughout plants. This system involves various specialized cells like sieve elements, companion cells, parenchyma cells, and phloem fibers. Mature sieve elements lack certain organelles and have non-lignified cell walls, mak

Secondary growth, resulting from cambial cell division, thickens stems and roots in plants. This process involves cambium, a tissue layer between xylem and phloem, responsible for secondary growth. Cambium ray initials give rise to vascular rays and secondary xylem/phloem. The seasonal activity of c
