Hacke, Uwe G., Feild, Taylor S., Sano, Yuzuo, Sperry, John S., Sikkema, Elzard H.
We tested two hypotheses for how vessel evolution in angiosperms influenced xylem function. First, the transition to vessels decreased resistance to flow—often considered the driving force for their evolution. Second, the transition to vessels compromised safety from cavitation—a constraint...
