Question

Which process in plants is demonstrated using Ringing experiment?

Answer 1

Ringing Experiment:

1. The girdling experiment is another name for the ringing experiment.
2. In this experiment, phloem tissue-containing bark is removed from a specific region of a woody plant, making a ring on the stem.
3. Because the phloem is located outside the xylem, this experiment reveals that it is necessary for food transfer.
4. The woody xylem stays in place after a ring of bark is removed from a woody plant, permitting water and nutrients to access the leaves.
