Hydraulic tradeoffs underlie enhanced performance of polyploid trees under soil water scarcity

This study compares diploid, triploid, and tetraploid Annona genotypes under water stress, finding polyploids have better performance due to hydraulic traits.

Sieve tube structural variation in Austrobaileya scandens and its significance for lianescence

This study examines sieve tube structural variation in Austrobaileya scandens, finding small sieve plate pore radii and hydraulic segmentation that may affect energy distribution in lianas.

Changes In Ploidy Affect Vascular Allometry And Hydraulic Function In Trees

This study examines how changes in ploidy affect vascular structure and hydraulic function in mango trees, finding that tetraploids have larger cells and reduced dehydration rates.

Conductivity of the phloem in Mangifera indica L.

This study examines the phloem anatomy and hydraulic conductivity in mango trees, revealing structural changes and scaling patterns that support the pipe model theory for long-distance transport.

Idioblasts as pathways for distributing water absorbed by leaf surfaces to the mesophyll in Capparis odoratissima

This study identifies idioblasts as specialized structures in Capparis odoratissima leaves that facilitate water transport from absorbed fog to the mesophyll, enhancing hydration and photosynthesis.
