 | Sperry, John S. | Analysis of circular bordered pit function I. Angiosperm vessels with homogenous pit membranes | A model predicted pit and vessel conductivity, the air-seed pressure for cavitation, and the implosion pressure causing vessel collapse. Predictions were based on measurements from 27 angiosperm species with circular bordered pits and air-seed pressures of 0.2-11.3 MPa. Vessel implosion pressure exc... | Functional wood anatomy; hydraulic architecture; plant biomechanics | 2004 |

 | Sperry, John S. | Analysis of circular bordered pit function II. Gymnosperm tracheids with torus-margo pit membranes | A model of xylem conduit function was applied to gymnosperm tracheids with torus-margo pit membranes for comparison with angiosperm vessels. Tracheids from 17 gymnosperm tree species with circular bordered pits and air-seed pressures from 0.8 to 11.8 MPa were analyzed. Tracheids were more reinforced... | Functional wood anatomy; hydraulic architecture; plant biomechanics | 2004 |

 | Sperry, John S. | Evaluation of Murray's law in Psilotum nudum (Psilotaceae), an analogue of ancestral vascular plants | Previous work has shown that the xylem of seed plants follows Murray's law when conduits do not provide structural support to the plant. Here, compliance with Murray's law was tested in the stem photosynthesizer Psilotum nudum, a seedless vascular plant. Psilotum nudum was chosen because the central... | Conduit furcation number; hydraulic architecture; Murray's law | 2005 |
