True.

Wood formed during spring

Spring wood

Wood formed during summer, counting the total number of annual ring is directly proportional to the age of the wood

Summer wood

The study of the growth rings in wood

Dendrochronology

The oldest tree in existence

The great basin bristlecone pine

Scientific name of bristlecone pine

Pinus longaeva

Group of tissues that enter tissue composition of old dicot stem and is derived from vascular cambium. It consists of secondary xylem and phloem, replacing primary vascular tissues and forming wood

Secondary vascular tissues

It consists of phellem, phellogen, and phelloderm

Periderm

It is the cork

Phellem

It is the cork cambium

Phellogen

It is the secondary parenchyma

Phelloderm

The two distinct regions of woody stem

Bark


Wood

The central region of secondary wood in old trees filled with tannin and other substances. It is physiologically inactive in most plants. It’s also dark in color because of the presence of tannins, oils, gums, and resins. It also functions as mechanical support

Heartwood

Complex organic substance present in plants that generally have astringent properties and can also be used in the leather industry

Tannins

Plant exudates reduced as a result of stress or injury into the plant

resins and gums

It is the outer region of secondary wood and is lighter in color. It’s physiologically active and is used to transport minerals and water from roots to leaves

Sapwood

Photosynthesis

Prickly Pear

Opuntia

It is under vegetative propagation where stem cuttings are placed in moist sand or pear mass until adventitious root develop

Rooting

Under vegetative propagation where freshly cut surfaces of two stems are bound together firmly so that two cambial layers are at least in partial contact

Grafting

Three Purposes of grafting

Propagates heedless variety of plant


Ensure more rapid fruiting


To check or eliminate parasites

The removal of a diseased, broken, or otherwise undesired branch

Pruning

Removal of complete ring of the bark to sharp the downward passage of food

Girdling

Three purposes of girdling

Produce starch roots


Produce more flowers in the season
