Form of apomixis in which plants reproduce vegetatively through bulbils, stolons, runners etc. Concerned with growth and with nutrition. Functioning involuntarily or unconsciously, as the vegetative nervous system. Resting; denoting the portion of a cell cycle during which the cell is not involved in replication.

Tissue consisting mostly of strands or vessels, as opposed to cellular tissue.  

The network of specialised cells that conduct through the body of a plant both water (in xylem tissue) and assimilated products (in phloem tissue). The tubular blood-conducting network of the body composed of arteries, veins, and capillaries. The series of vessels such as veins, arteries and capillaries, carrying blood around the body. The blood vessels:…

Those plants which possess vessels, i.e. Spermatophytes and Pteridophytes. Plant that possesses vessels for the transport of water and nutrients, i.e. lycopods, ferns and seed plants. Plants which have vascular tissue, which form channels for conducting water and nutrients. The group includes Conifers, Dicotyledons, Monocotyledons, Ferns, Horsetails, Clubmosses and Quillworts and excludes lower plants, comprising…

The central ‘cord’ of vascular tissue.  

A strand of specialised tissue that conducts water or nutrients within the plant.  

Referring to the xylem or phloem or both. Pertaining to blood vessels or indicative of a copious blood supply. Containing vessels. Pertaining to the blood vessels, such as arteries, veins, or capillaries, or to the vessels that conduct lymph fluid.
