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.
