Johnston University of Arizona Abstract- The project being presented is on the association of desert plant life with nurse plants. It is said that desert plant life such as C. Gigantea‚ Ferocactus Wislizeni‚ and Ambrosia Deltoidea‚ associate themselves with other large nurse plants for protection‚ and other resources. Results showed that there was no random association of this hypothesis; therefore the null hypothesis

also anchor the plant. Some roots have mycorrhizae‚ which increase the surface area and therefore increase the absorption. The endodermis‚ which is the innermost layer of cells in the root cortex‚ surrounds the vascular cylinder. It is the passage of minerals from the cortex into the vascular tissue. The stem has a system of nodes where leaves are attached. They have a waxy coating (epidermis) that prevents water loss. The stem and the roots are the 2 main axes in a vascular plant. Fluids are transported

A plant’s first line of defense against pathogens is their innate immunity. The “innate-immune system” is a non-specific immune
