How hollow stem can support the plant? |
|
Answer» Hollow STEM occurs in cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage. The thick, fleshy center of the stem CORE splits due to an uneven growth rate and an elongated CAVITY forms. The cavity may extend to either end of the plant to produce an opening to the OUTSIDE ENVIRONMENT. When this occurs, infections by fungi and bacteria are common. |
