Herbaceous plants lacking a vascular system for conveying sap for their primary means of transporting nutrients. A common example are mosses, and like other non-vascular plants, they are often found attached to rocks or rotting wood.

VASCULAR PLANTS THAT BEAR SEED are divided into two groups:
GYMNOSPERM (produce naked seeds that are only partially
enclosed by tissues - conifers being the largest family). or ANGIOSPERM (produce a covered seed in an ovary ...

Vascular cambium - A group of cells surrounding the xylem and pith that produce the secondary xylem and phloem.
Vascular plants - Plants with vascular tissue.

Vascular system - the tissue in a plant that moves fluids through the plant.
Vector - an organism that transmits a disease-causing pathogen.
Vegetative - plant parts and processes concerning growth and nutrition and not reproduction.

vascular cambium
n.
A type of lateral meristem that gives rise to new xylem (wood) and phloem (inner bark).

vascular ring. A thin area of potato tuber tissue between the cortex and the medulla in which vascular tissue is concentrated.

Vascular The vessels that conduct water or nutrients in plants.
Vascular bundle A discrete group of conducting vessels.
Vascular bundle scar A minute spot within the leaf scar where the vessels were positioned.

This vascular wilt disease caused by the bacterium Erwinia tracheiphila affects only certain members of the cucumber family including cucumber, squash, muskmelon, pumpkin, and gourd.

Fusarium and Verticillium are soil-borne fungi that cause vascular wilt diseases in tomatoes. They grow in the water-conducting tissues of the plant. A close look will reveal brown discoloration in the tomato's stem.

Algae refers to a diverse group of aquatic non-vascular plants that can be planktonic, filamentous, or may even resemble higher plants.

Superficial infection of the wound surface by decay-causing fungi may occur - but with no significant or long-term adverse affect to the tree providing access to the internal vascular system is denied.

Roses and other plants use these elements as they are broken down into forms that the roots can take into the plants' vascular systems to promote photosynthesis.

In cross section, this vascular discoloration appears as a brown ring in the outer sapwood of the wilting and dying branches.

Products, like Round Up, Weed Gone are systemic, meaning they pass through the plants vascular system and get down into the roots, to kill the whole plant. Even then, some hardy weeds will take multiple applications to be thoroughly eradicated.

At the end of a sawn limb a vertical cut is made through the bark and vascular cambium (the thin green ring between the bark and wood). The cut's length needs to match that of the scion.

SIGNS: These plants, as well as mountain laurel (Kalmia spp.) contain grayanotoxins (glycosides) which affect the gastroenteric (stomach and intestines) and cardiovascular systems. The older name for this toxin was andromedotoxin.

Plants dying from decline have vascular discoloration well up the main stem. The discoloration may be continuous or discontinuous in the stem. Sections of the foliage of infected plants turn a light green color.

A fasciation is a widespread phenomena reported in more than 100 vascular plant species. The term refers to a flattened or ribbon-like appearance. Woody plants, annuals and even cacti are affected.

eustele -- When a plant's vascular tissue develops in discrete bundles, it is said to have a eustele. See also protostele and siphonostele.
fiber -- Elongated and thickened cell found in xylem tissue. It strengthens and supports the surrounding cells.

It gets into the plant and kills off the vascular tissue "strangling" the plant. The unfortunate thing about it is that there's really nothing you can do to fight the disease other than keeping the tree as healthy and vigorous as possible.

"It is a vascular conduit between the plants' roots and its leaves," notes Richard Racusen, Ph.D., professor of plant biology at the University of Maryland. "Like humans, plants have two types of tubing that serve different purposes.

Vascular wilts; root, trunk and fruit rots; and leaf spots are all symptoms of fungal infection. Disease problems are most severe during periods of high humidity or when the plant tissue is covered by a thin film of moisture.

Phloem - The specialized vascular plant tissue used for the transportation of dissolved sugars and other organic solutes within a plant.

wilt. A disease (or symptom) characterized by a loss of turgidity in a plant (e.g., vascular wilt). (16)
wilting. Of plant disease: A symptom characterized by loss of turgor, which results in drooping of leaves, stems, and flowers. (20) ...

Clove oil and vinegar translocate -- or travel through a plant's vascular system -- all the way to the roots. Two applications spaced two to three days should kill a morning glory vine.

They used them to create diuretics, expectorants and analgesics. People even thought liatris balms, powders, teas and tonics would stimulate the vascular system, ease backaches and cure sore throats.

In one of their studies, blueberries ranked first among 50 fresh fruits and vegetables in antioxidant capacity. Antioxidants can help protect against cellular damage that leads to degenerative diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease.
