Increasing leaf hydraulic conductance with transpiration rate minimizes the water potential drawdown from stem to leaf

Leaf hydraulic conductance (k (leaf)) is a central element in the regulation of leaf water balance but the properties of k (leaf) remain uncertain. Here, the evidence for the following two models for k (leaf) in well-hydrated plants is evaluated: (i) k (leaf) is constant or (ii) k (leaf) increases a...
