Water transport in vascular plants represents a critical component of terrestrial water cycles and supplies the water needed for the exchange of CO2 in the atmosphere for photosynthesis. Yet, many fundamental principles of water transport are dif …
The leaf intercellular airspace (IAS) is generally considered to have high conductance to CO2 diffusion relative to the liquid phase. While previous studies accounted for leaf-level variation in porosity and mesophyll thickness, they omitted 3D IAS …
Recent methodological advances toward measuring sap flow on small- diameter stems allow for near continuous monitoring of leaf-level water flux in response to naturally varying environmental conditions. Elucidating the response functions of sap flow …
Angiosperms dominate almost every ecosystem globally, and for the vast majority, flowering is vital to successful reproduction, yet little work has characterized the dynamics of water use during flowering and its impacts on the reproductive biology …
