| Title |
Cavitation fatigue - the weakening of cavitation resistance of xylem and its reversibility |
| Date |
2003 |
| Description |
Xylem function is essential for the growth and survival of higher land plants. Xylem must not only be efficient under favorable conditions to facilitate high rates of stomatal conductance and carbon uptake, but it should also remain functional under drought conditions, when water potential (Ψ) drops to low values. Since water in the xylem is lifted up to the leaves by negative pressure (Steudle, 2001; Zimmermann, 1983), it is intrinsically vulnerable to cavitation. |
