Abstract: Auxins are known to regulate xylem development in plants, however, their effects on water transport efficiency are poorly known. Here we used tomato plants of the diageotropica mutant (dgt), which has impaired function of a… read more here.

Abstract: Karst forests are habitats in which access to soil water can be challenging for plants. Therefore, safe and efficient xylem water transport and large internal water storage may benefit tree growth. In this study, we… read more here.
