Is it possible to perform girdling experiment in monocots? Give reason in support of your answer.
Dear student,
Refer below for above asked query:-
Girdling experiment cannot be carried out in monocots. For girdling experiment we have to remove phloem which is possible in dicots because in them, vascular bundles are arranged in the outer ring, but in monocots, vascular bundles are scattered so it is very difficult to remove phloem from each vascular bundle.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about topic.
If you have any more doubts just ask here on the forum and our experts will try to help you out as soon as possible.
