Visualizing water-filled versus embolized status of xylem conduits by desktop x-ray microtomography

BACKGROUND: The hydraulic conductivity of the stem is a major factor limiting the capability of trees to transport water from the soil to transpiring leaves. During drought conditions, the conducting capacity of xylem can be reduced by some conduits being filled with gas, i.e. embolized. In order to...
