Xylem Embolism Resistance Determines Leaf Mortality during Drought in Persea americana

Plant Physiology.

MeSH headings : Droughts; Persea / metabolism; Persea / physiology; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Plant Leaves / physiology; Plant Transpiration / physiology; Xylem / metabolism; Xylem / physiology
TL;DR: It is proposed that heterogeneity in drought-induced leaf mortality across a canopy is caused by high interleaf variability in xylem resistance to embolism, which may act as a buffer against complete canopy death during prolonged drought in P. americana. (via Semantic Scholar)

Coordinated plasticity maintains hydraulic safety in sunflower leaves.

Plant, Cell & Environment, 41(11), 2567–2576.

author keywords: cavitation; herbaceous species; osmotic adjustment; stomatal movement; xylem vulnerability
MeSH headings : Dehydration; Helianthus / metabolism; Plant Leaves / metabolism; Plant Stomata / metabolism; Plant Transpiration; Water / metabolism; Xylem / metabolism
TL;DR: It is found that sunflower plants grown under water-limited conditions significantly adjusted leaf osmotic potential, which was linked to a prolongation of stomatal opening as soil dried and a reduced sensitivity of photosynthesis to water-stress-induced damage, and high plasticity in sunflower xylem contrasts with data from woody plants and may suggest an alternative strategy in herbs.

Similar geometric rules govern the distribution of veins and stomata in petals, sepals and leaves

New Phytologist, 219(4), 1224–1234.

MeSH headings : Cell Size; Flowers / anatomy & histology; Phylogeny; Plant Leaves / anatomy & histology; Plant Stomata / anatomy & histology; Plant Stomata / cytology; Plant Stomata / physiology; Plant Vascular Bundle / anatomy & histology
TL;DR: The data support the concept of common scaling between veins and stomata in leaves and flowers, and the large diversity in petal vein density suggests that, in some species, petal veins may be engaged in additional functions, such as the supply of water for high cuticular transpiration or for phloem delivery of water or carbohydrates.
