Can plants be vectors

Best Answer

I can't think of any examples where plants are vectors of disease. Typically a disease vector is an organism that moves a disease causing organism from one host to the next. It's hard to imagine how a plant could do this, except in the dispersal stages of plants' life histories (pollen and seeds, mainly). I do not know of any examples where a pollen grain or a seed carries a disease from one host to the next, but I won't say that it is an impossible scenario.

What are some vectors of pollination?

Vectors of pollination include wind, insects and animals. All of these vectors help to transport or move pollen to the reproductive systems of other plants, thus encouraging diversity.


What group of plants depend on animal vectors for fertilization?

A group of plants that depend on animal vectors for fertilization is called zoophytes. These plants rely on animals, such as insects, birds, or bats, to assist in the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organs to the female reproductive organs, thus enabling fertilization. Examples include many flowering plants and orchids.
