Reflect on any gardening methods you know, such as pruning, grafting, irrigation or crop rotation. How does each practice support the healthy functioning of plant tissues like meristems, conducting tissues or supporting tissues?
View Sample Response
Pruning removes old shoots and encourages meristems to form fresh, bushy growth. Grafting joins a healthy shoot so its meristems and conducting tissues continue growth. Irrigation keeps xylem supplied with water so transport works. Crop rotation keeps the soil rich in minerals, so roots and conducting tissues stay healthy.
