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 …

Drought‐induced xylem embolism is considered to be one of the main factors driving
mortality in woody plants worldwide. Although several structure–functional mechanisms …

Gymnosperm taxa are incredibly diverse in many traits, including taxa with evergreen or
deciduous leaves; broad, compound, needle‐like or scale‐like leaves; trees, shrubs, and …

High-altitude mountain plants are at risk of extinction due to global warming. Our study
examined the stoichiometric characteristics of high-altitude plants in response to a …

Flowering plants predominantly conduct water in tubes known as vessels, with vessel
diameter playing a crucial role in plant adaptation to climate and reactions to climate …

Embolism spreading in xylem is an important component of plant drought resistance. Since
embolism resistance has been shown to be mechanistically linked to pit membrane …

The synergy between drought-responsive traits across different organs is crucial in the
whole-plant mechanism influencing drought resilience. These organ interactions, however …

The Himalayas are experiencing dramatic warming and drought events, which occur at a
faster rate than the global average. How will the high-elevation ecosystems cope with such …

Abstract Background and Aims An individual plant consists of different-sized shoots, each of
which consists of different-sized leaves. To predict plant-level physiological responses from …

Amazonian savannas are isolated patches of open habitats found within the extensive
matrix of Amazonian tropical forests. There remains limited evidence on how Amazonian …
