Journal ArticleDOI

Leaf venation: structure, function, development, evolution, ecology and applications in the past, present and future

TL;DR: The development and plasticity of leaf venation and its adaptation across environments globally, and a new global data compilation indicating trends relating vein length per unit area to climate, growth form and habitat worldwide are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution and Function of Leaf Venation Architecture: A Review

TL;DR: This review summarizes current knowledge of interrelationships between the form and function of leaf venation and the evolution of Leaf venation patterns and refers to the topic of individual and intraspecific variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The tortoise and the hare: ecology of angiosperm dominance and gymnosperm persistence

TL;DR: The regeneration hypothesis for gymnosperm exclusion by angiosperm exclusion is consistent with several aspects of the fossil record such as the early disappearance of gymnosperms from early successional environments where competition with angiosperms would have been most severe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tansley Review No. 22 What becomes of the transpiration stream

TL;DR: Five general themes of the behaviour and organization of the transpiration stream are induced from the facts reviewed, and it is maintained that the water of the stream enters the symplast through cell membranes very close to tracheary elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydraulic Analysis of Water Flow through Leaves of Sugar Maple and Red Oak

TL;DR: The large proportion of resistance in the venation can explain why stomata respond to leaf xylem damage and cavitation, and suggests that the diversity of vein system architectures observed in angiosperms may reflect variation in whole-leaf hydraulic capacity.
