Interconduit pit membranes of temperate angiosperms undergo changes in pit membrane thickness and electron density within the final growth ring

Judith R. Schepers, Luciano M. Silva, Cora F. Carmesin…·Steven Jansen

The paper examines seasonal changes in pit membrane thickness and electron density within the latest growth ring of angiosperm xylem conduits across eight species.

Stochastic spreading models reproduce embolism propagation dynamics in angiosperm xylem networks of vessels connected by bordered pits

Onerva Korhonen, Steven Jansen, Luciano M. Silva…·Ari Laurén

The paper uses a stochastic SI model to simulate embolism propagation in plant xylem networks, reproducing empirical and physiological results without detailed physiological data.

Time-based shifts in xylem vulnerability curves of angiosperms based on the flow-centrifuge method

Luciano M. Silva, Jonas Pfaff, Luciano Pereira…·Steven Jansen

This study shows that spin time affects xylem vulnerability curves in angiosperms, leading to shifts in hydraulic conductivity and P50 values when using the flow-centrifuge method.
