This paper identifies a two-step mechanism of embolism propagation in angiosperm xylem, involving bubble generation and embolism formation as distinct processes.

The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of mechanical advantage in angiosperms, finding it present in all measured species including early diverging lineages.

The paper compares leaf abscission dynamics in temperate tree species, finding that senescence and abscission are distinct and vary in timing across deciduous, brevi-deciduous, and marcescent leaf habits.

This study overexpresses NPQ genes in C4 plant Setaria viridis to compare photoprotection mechanisms with C3 plants, finding shared and unique traits that could improve crop resilience.

This study investigates how wind speed affects stomatal conductance rates and kinetics in plants, showing increased gas exchange at higher wind speeds.

The paper shows that in Umbellularia californica, stomatal closure under extreme drought occurs passively via leaf water status, not ABA, and reopens quickly upon rehydration.
