How would u describe tumor in plants?
Answers
“Plants don't get cancer like animals do,” said Susan K. Pell, director of science at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, “and the tumors they do get do not metastasize because plant cells don't move around.” Rather, they are held in place by cell walls. ... The resulting growths are visible on trees in Brooklyn and elsewhere
Crown galls are a kind of plant cancer, caused by the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens (pictured). This causes uncontrolled growth of plant cells around the infection, just like a tumour. ... But plant cells are anchored in place by the cell walls, so plant cancers never spread far or metastasise to other tissues.
Plants can experience the same phenomenon, along with cancerous masses, but it tends to be brought on via infection. Fungi, bacteria, viruses, and insect infestation have all been tied to plant cancers.
