Hydraulic failure resulting from drought‐induced embolism in the xylem of plants is a key
determinant of reduced productivity and mortality. Methods to assess this vulnerability are …

Maintenance of long distance water transport in xylem is essential to plant health and
productivity. Both biotic and abiotic environmental conditions lead to embolism formation …

Although xylem embolism is a key process during drought‐induced tree mortality, its
relationship to wood anatomy remains debated. While the functional link between bordered …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Vascular plant mortality during drought has been strongly linked to a failure of the internal
water transport system caused by the rapid invasion of air and subsequent blockage of …

Although xylem embolism resistance is traditionally considered as static, we hypothesized
that in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) leaf xylem becomes more embolism‐resistant over the …

The time scale of stomatal closure and xylem cavitation during plant dehydration, as well as
the fate of embolized organs, are under debate, largely due to methodological limitations in …

Pit membranes in bordered pits between neighbouring vessels play a major role in the entry
of air-water menisci from an embolised vessel into a water-filled vessel (ie., air-seeding) …

Embolism spreading in angiosperm xylem occurs via mesoporous pit membranes between
vessels. Here, we investigate how the size of pore constrictions in pit membranes is related …

Plant hydraulic traits capture the impacts of drought stress on plant function, yet vegetation
models lack sufficient information regarding trait coordination and variation with climate‐of …
