Wood density plays a key role in ecological strategies and life history variation in woody
plants, but little is known about its anatomical basis in shrubs. We quantified the relationships …

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). …

Both engineered hydraulic systems and plant hydraulic systems are protected against failure
by resistance, reparability, and redundancy. A basic rule of reliability engineering is that the …

Vascular plants transport water under negative pressure without constantly creating gas
bubbles that would disable their hydraulic systems. Attempts to replicate this feat in artificial …

The maximum specific hydraulic conductivity (k max ) of a plant sample is a measure of the
ability of a plants’ vascular system to transport water and dissolved nutrients under optimum …

Premise of the Study Xylem sap in angiosperms moves under negative pressure in conduits
and cell wall pores that are nanometers to micrometers in diameter, so sap is always very …

Lipids have been observed attached to lumen‐facing surfaces of mature xylem conduits of
several plant species, but there has been little research on their functions or effects on water …

Estudio descriptivo cualitativo cuyo objetivo fue describir y analizar las resonancias del cuidado
que la enfermera asistencial establece con los niños hospitalizados durante el proceso …

A new method is described for measuring dissolved gas concentrations in small volumes of
xylem sap using membrane inlet mass spectrometry. The technique can be used to …

• Hydraulic systems of shrubs vary between hydraulically integrated and modular architectures;
the latter divide the shrub into independent hydraulic units. Hydraulic systems of two …
