This study investigates the mechanical properties of Chara cell walls by removing calcium crosslinks or pectin, finding that pectin significantly affects strength, stiffness, and permeability.

The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of mechanical advantage in angiosperms, finding it present in all measured species including early diverging lineages.

The paper examines how salt glands in plants reduce desalination energy costs by managing brine concentration and crack size to prevent dehydration.

The paper shows that non-stomatal regulation of transpiration occurs due to reduced plasma membrane conductance in the outside-xylem zone under moderate xylem water stress.

The paper develops a network model to show how transfusion tissue in conifer needles facilitates radial transport of sugar and water by separating their pathways, mitigating flow bottlenecks.

This study investigates how wind speed affects stomatal conductance rates and kinetics in plants, showing increased gas exchange at higher wind speeds.

This study examines phloem structure and development in Illicium parviflorum, finding ontogenetic changes in conduit dimensions and hydraulic resistance.
