Chapter 36, Problem 4S
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The affect of undifferentiated vessel cells on the functioning of the mutant maize plant.
Introduction:
Vessel cells are the primary water conducting and transporting cells in the plants. Xylem tissues or the vessel cells are responsible for the transfer of water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plants.

- In farming communities, there is a concern that over irrigation can leech nutrients out of the soil, flood a farm area, and add salt to the soil in a process called salinization. The overall negative results are that some plants cannot germinate (grow from seed) and other adult or growing plants will die. Explain what is happening on the cell level, in regards to transport across the cell membrane, why seeds might not germinate, and why adult plants might die.arrow_forward(a) Describe the role of mitosis in the growth of a plant. (b) Explain why there are more cells observed in mitosis in the root tip than in the woody stem.arrow_forwardThe image represents a flower meristem viewed from above. At the time the image represents, the cells are undifferentiated, although their eventual fates are determined (e.g. carpels, etc.). The rectangles indicate the regions of the meristem where particular genes (A, B, and C) are expressed. Note that these genes are expressed all around the circumference of the meristem at the location indicated; in other words, gene A is active in all cells in the rings labeled sepal and petals.
