HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as trachea elements. There are many consequences that will occur, if xylem dies out, like these: No conduction of water from to roots to various parts of plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem is a water-conducting tissue in plants. It transports water from the roots to the different parts of the plant. If the xylem of the plant is removed, upward movement of water will stop leading to wilting of leaves and ultimately causes the death of a plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The phloem is responsible for transporting solutes, like the sugars that are produced in photosynthesis and amino acids. The xylem, on the other hand, is responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals from the roots up through the plant stem to all the other parts that require them, like the leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water and other materials necessary for biological activity in trees are transported throughout the stem and branches in thin, hollow tubes in the xylem, or wood tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -Injured phloem will carry fewer nutrients to the roots, stunting root growth. Injured xylem will carry less water to the branches and leaves. Both of these problems limit the supply of vitally needed water and salts to the leaves.
