Xylem embolism spread is largely prevented by interconduit pit membranes until the majority of conduits are gas-filled

Rodrigo T. Avila et al.

Summary: Xylem embolism resistance varies across species, affecting plant drought tolerance. This study found that individual xylem conduits have a specific water potential threshold for embolism formation, and pre-existing embolism in neighboring conduits can alter this threshold. Refilling of conduits was not observed after embolism formation upon rehydration. When little pre-existing embolism was present, xylem conduits had a conserved, individual embolism-resistance threshold that varied across the population of conduits. The consequence of a variable conduit-specific embolism threshold is that a small degree of pre-existing embolism in the xylem results in apparently more resistant xylem in subsequent dehydrations, particularly in angiosperms with vessels.

The theory behind vessel length determination using gas flow rates and comparison between two pneumatic methods based on seven woody species

Guoquan Peng et al.

Summary: Improved pneumatic theories have demonstrated that the use of inexpensive 'Pneumatron' devices can accurately measure vessel length distribution in woody species. The Pneumatron, based on pneumatic theory, is a rapid and convenient method for estimating vessel length. A new simplified gas flow equation was derived. The Pneumatron is highly recommended for future studies due to its low cost, convenience, rapidity, and simplicity.

Quantifying vulnerability to embolism in tropical trees and lianas using five methods: can discrepancies be explained by xylem structural traits?

Ya-Jun Chen et al.

Summary: Different methods of constructing vulnerability curves (VCs) show varying results, with the PAD method generating highly vulnerable VCs and the BD, OP, and MicroCT methods producing more resistant VCs. Furthermore, compared with directly measured midday embolism levels, the PAD and AI methods tend to overestimate embolism, while the BD, MicroCT, and OP methods provide more reasonable estimates.

Persistent decay of fresh xylem hydraulic conductivity varies with pressure gradient and marks plant responses to injury

Sara Bonetti et al.

Summary: This study re-examined the concept of xylem in plants and found that the hydraulic traits of xylem show temporal and pressure gradient dependence. The study differentiated the macroscopic definition of K-x for living and dead xylem, shedding new light on the conceptualization of xylem and conductivity measurement protocols.

Using the Pneumatic method to estimate embolism resistance in species with long vessels: A commentary on the article A comparison of five methods to assess embolism resistance in trees

Luciano Pereira et al.

Summary: Comparing methods for measuring plant traits is important for validation across studies. Some studies have found reliability issues with the Pneumatic method in estimating embolism vulnerability in long-vesseled species, while others support its viability. Further experiments are encouraged to improve our understanding of plant water relations.

No gas source, no problem: Proximity to pre-existing embolism and segmentation affect embolism spreading in angiosperm xylem by gas diffusion

Xinyi Guan et al.

Summary: The spread of embolism in dehydrating angiosperm xylem is influenced by gas movement between embolized and sap-filled conduits. Cutting minor veins showed limited embolism spreading near the cuts prior to major veins, and embolism propagation may be affected by proximity and connectivity to pre-existing embolism as a gas source.ContainerGapncy to pre-existing embolism as a gas source may facilitate embolism formation.
