Cavitation Resistance in Seedless Vascular Plants: The Structure and Function of Interconduit Pit Membranes

Plant water transport occurs through interconnected xylem conduits that are separated by partially digested regions in the cell wall known as pit membranes. These structures have a dual function. Their porous construction facilitates water movement between conduits while limiting the spread of air t...
