What are the three plant tissue systems?
Chemicals used to kill or control insects, plants, rodents or other pests
What are pesticides?
Lack of, or too much of, water and/or sunlight
What are the 2 most common causes for diseased plants?
Cut off the damaged parts or restart.
What is the BEST way to treat your plants?
A variety of herbicides (pesticide that kills weeds and grasses)
What is glyphosphate?
Guard cells
What special cells control the opening and closing of each stomate?
Improving gut health by stimulating the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while also inhibiting the growth of pathogen bacteria
What do polyphenols do?
What are the symptoms of diseased plants?
What is a genetically modified plant?
True or false - glyphosate-based herbicides help increase crop yield significantly
What is true?
Strawberry plants that send "runners" across the soil to reproduce
Give an example of vegetative reproduction
The hair-like structures plant on a plant surface that can drive away pests due to their physical strength
What are the trichomes?
Powdery Mildew, Thielaviopsis (root rot), Botrytis (grey mold) and Leaf spot
What are the 4 most common plant diseases?
Isolating the plant and preventing cross contamination.
What to do if a plant is incurable?
Several Indigenous cultures are impacted by the flora and fauna imbalance
What are hunting, gathering and ceremonies
Cell division happens in specific parts of the body. Most plant cells cannot divide further. The cells will continue to grow for the rest of their life

What affect does CO2 have on diseased and non diseased plants?
In Canada, GMO's are not sold unless they are tested and deemed safe and nutritious by scientists.
Are GMO's sold in Canada?
This plant propagation technique allows scientists to generate disease-resistant plants.
What is tissue culture (micropropagation)?
What are lateral meristems?
It leads to oxidative stress in vascular cells, causing overproduction of reactive oxygen species that damage cellular components.
How does pesticide absorption affect the vascular system of a plant?
What is thielaviopsis (root rot)?
This process is when genes are copied from a desired plant which are then inserted into the DNA of an organism
What is genetic modificaation/engineering?
A process where plant tissues play a key role in cleaning and regulating polluted environments
What is phytoremediation?
