Traits, properties, and performance: how woody plants combine hydraulic and mechanical functions in a cell, tissue, or whole plant
B Lachenbruch, KA McCulloh - New Phytologist, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
This review presents a framework for evaluating how cells, tissues, organs, and whole plants
perform both hydraulic and mechanical functions. The morphological alterations that affect …
