In vivo pressure gradient heterogeneity increases flow contribution of small diameter vessels in grapevine

In vivo pressure gradient heterogeneity increases flow contribution of small diameter vessels in grapevine

Plants require long-distance water transport to avoid desiccation. Here, via μCT and MRI of grapevine stem, Bouda et al. show evidence of pressure gradient heterogeneity and flow redirection from wide to narrow vessels that suggests narrow vessels contribute more to xylem sap flow than previously ap...
