a network of cells found in higher plants for transporting nutrients and water.
One of the strands of tissue that carry water and nutrients within the plant, consisting of xylem on the inside and phloem on the outside, separated by a layer of cambium.
a group of specialized cells consisting of xylem and phloem, sometimes separated by a strip of cambium and arranged in different patterns.
In vascular plants, a strand of vascular tissue, including conducting cells of xylem and phloem as well as thick-walled fibers.
A discrete group of conducting vessels.
strand of conductive tissue, usually composed of xylem and phloem (in leaves, small bundles are called veins).
n. A long continuous strand of conducting (vascular) tissue in tracheophyte plants that extends from the roots through the stem and into the leaves. It consists of xylem and phloem, which are separated by a cambium in plants that undergo secondary thickening. Syn. fascicle. See vascular tissue.
Also called vascular tissue. Collectively, the phloem and xylem. In leaves, the vascular bundles are recognized as the veins. In stems, the vascular bundles surround the pith.
a unit strand of the vascular system in stems and leaves of higher plants consisting essentially of xylem and phloem
Groups of xylem, phloem and cambium cells in stems of plants descended from the procambium embryonic tissue layer.
a strand of tissue composed mostly of xylem and of phloem;
A structure of vascular plants that runs up through the roots, into the stems, and out into the leaves, and whose function is transport of water, ions and dissolved organic solutes within the plant.
In plants, a group of longitudinal supporting and conducting tissues ( xylem and phloem). vascular cambium vasculum, a small vessel + cambium, exchange] A continuous cylinder of meristematic cells surrounding the xylem and pith that produces secondary xylem and phloem.
the primary fluid-conducting system of a plant.
A vascular bundle is a part of the transport system in vascular plants. The transport itself happens in vascular tissue, which exists in two forms: xylem and phloem. Both these tissues are present in a vascular bundle, which in addition will include supporting and protective tissues.
