Question

Due to sone fungal infection in a plant, a tissur got blocked and the plant wilted . give the reason and name the tissue that got blocked.

Answer 1

In plants, internal vascular tissue especially xylem is responsible for the transportation of nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

If a fungal infection affects that particular tissue, then water and nutrients would not reach the leaves which would slow down the process of photosynthesis ultimately resulting the wilting of the plant.
