Beyond air-seeding: Dynamic, multiphase interactionsreveal a two-step mechanism of embolism propagation inangiosperm xylem

This paper identifies a two-step mechanism of embolism propagation in angiosperm xylem, involving bubble generation and embolism formation as distinct processes.

Low-frequency somatic mutations are heritable in tropical trees Dicorynia guianensis and Sextonia rubra

The paper identifies low-frequency somatic mutations in two tropical tree species and shows they can be heritable despite not following expected branching patterns or UV exposure effects.

Sent to the Corner: xylem vessel anatomy not surface area determines megaphyll hydraulics in Cecropia obtusa Trecul (Urticaceae)

The paper investigates Corners rule in Cecropia obtusa by analyzing petiole and lamina size relationships, finding vessel dimensions more influential than surface area in hydraulic function.
