The inhibition of axillary buds by an apical bud.

apical dominance

In this transport route, water and solutes move along the continuum of cell walls and extracellular spaces

apoplastic

The perpetually undifferentiated tissues of plants.

meristems

This vascular tissue transports sugars from source to sink.

phloem

These structures found near the tips of a plant's roots increase absorptive surface area.

root hairs

About 95% of the water a plant loses escapes through these.

stomata

The process responsible for the loss of water vapor from the leaves of a plant.

transpiration

This plant tissue is responsible for the production of secondary xylem and phloem.

vascular cambrium

The physical property that predicts the direction in which water will flow.

water potential

This barrier prevents water and minerals from crossing the endodermis and entering the vascular cylinder via the apoplast.
