Hydraulic Strategy of Cactus Root–Stem Junction for Effective Water Transport

Cactus roots function as a hydraulic safety valve by conducting available water quickly and preventing water loss under drought condition. In particular, the root–stem (R–S) junction is responsible for effective water transport by direct coupling of the water absorptive thin roots and the moisture-f...
