TL;DR: There appears to be no persuasive explanation for the considerable number of species with both low efficiency and low safety in branch xylem, and these species represent a real challenge for understanding the evolution ofxylem.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Global analysis of parenchyma tissue fractions in secondary xylem of seed plants
Hugh Morris,Lenka Plavcová,Patrick Cvecko,Esther Fichtler,Mark A. F. Gillingham,Hugo I. Martínez-Cabrera,Daniel J. McGlinn,Elisabeth A. Wheeler,Jingming Zheng,Kasia Ziemińska,Steven Jansen +10 more
TL;DR: This work uses data from the literature on AP and RP fractions to investigate the potential relationships of climate and growth form with total ray and axial parenchyma fractions and finds a 29‐fold variation in RAP fraction, which was more strongly related to temperature than with precipitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct X-Ray Microtomography Observation Confirms the Induction of Embolism upon Xylem Cutting under Tension

TL;DR: Direct visualization shows enhanced embolism of xylem samples when they are collected under tension, as well as when the sample is collected under pressure.

Journal ArticleDOI
The amount of parenchyma and living fibers affects storage of nonstructural carbohydrates in young stems and roots of temperate trees
TL;DR: The differences in RAP and LFs abundance affect the ability of sapwood to store NSC in temperate trees, whereas a more diverse set of functions of RAP might be pronounced in species growing in a tropical environment with little seasonality.
