Abscisic acid acts essentially on stomata, not on the xylem, to improve drought resistance in tomato
Drought resistance is essential for plant production under water‐limiting environments.
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a critical role in stomata but its impact on hydraulic function …

Angiosperms follow a convex trade‐off to optimize hydraulic safety and efficiency
Intervessel pits are considered to function as valves that avoid embolism spreading and
optimize efficient transport of xylem sap across neighbouring vessels. Hydraulic transport …

Sap flow through partially embolized xylem vessel networks
Sap is transported through numerous conduits in the xylem of woody plants along the path
from the soil to the leaves. When all conduits are functional, vessel lumen diameter is a …

Assessing the agreement between the pneumatic and the flow‐centrifuge method for estimating xylem safety in temperate diffuse‐porous tree species
The increasing frequency of global change‐type droughts has created a need for fast,
accurate and widely applicable techniques for estimating xylem embolism resistance to …

Tree species differ in plant economic spectrum traits in the tropical dry forest of Mexico
MV Alvarado, T Terrazas - Plos one, 2023 - journals.plos.org
In tropical dry forests, studies on wood anatomical traits have concentrated mainly on
variations in vessel diameter and frequency. Recent research suggests that parenchyma …

Plasticity of wood and leaf traits related to hydraulic efficiency and safety is linked to evaporative demand and not soil moisture in rubber (Hevea brasiliensis)
The predicted increase of drought intensity in South-East Asia has raised concern about the
sustainability of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.) cultivation. In order to quantify the …
