In a girdled plant, when water is supplied to the leaves above the girdle, leaves may remain green for some time then wilt and ultimately die. What does it indicate?

Answers (1)

Ans.

Leaves have the ability to facilitate the process of photosynthesis when water is available.
                    

The leaves are not able to transport or translate the substances causing disruption, and the girdling adds to the damage leading to phloem and its injury. This causes the girdle to die even if the water is available.
