The standard centrifuge method has been frequently used to measure vulnerability to xylem cavitation. This method has recently been questioned. It was hypothesized that open vessels lead to exponential vulnerability curves, which were thought to be indicative of measurement artifact. We tested...

Maherali, H., Cao, K-.F., Schreiber, S.G., Brodribb, T.J., Westoby, M., Hacke, U.G., Jacobsen, A.L., Lens, F., Choat, B., Wright, I.J., Pittermann, J., Gleason, S., Bhaskar, R., Nardini, A., Morris, H., Mayr, S., Bucci, S.J., Mencuccini, M., Johnson, D.M., Mitchell, P.J., Fan, Z-.X., Sperry, J.S., Delzon, S., Zanne, A.E., Martínez-Vilalta, J., Cochard, H., Plavcová, L., McCulloh, K.A., Jansen, S., Domec, J-.C., Pratt, R.B., Feild, T.S.
The evolution of lignified xylem allowed for the efficient transport of water under tension, but also exposed the vascular network to the risk of gas emboli and the spread of gas between xylem conduits, thus impeding sap transport to the leaves. A well-known hypothesis proposes that the safety of...
