| Title |
Size and function in conifer tracheids and angiosperm vessels |
| Date |
2006 |
| Description |
The wide size range of conifer tracheids and angiosperm vessels has important consequences for function. In both conduit types, bigger is better for conducting efficiency. The gain in efficiency with size is maximized by the control of conduit shape, which balances end-wall and lumen resistances. |
