Within-leaf variation in embolism resistance is not a rule for compound-leaved #angiosperms New #AJB research by Ian Rimer & Scott A. M. McAdam doi.org/10.1002/ajb2... #botany
Representative images of an Oxalis debilis (A) and Chamaecrista fasciculata (B), with a black arrow pointing to the pulvini in each respective image. Images of a leaf in which a single embolism event that propagated through the pulvini is shown in color (C and D) with the corresponding water potential at which the embolism events occurred. All embolism events across the leaf were color-coded by the water potential at which they were observed (E and F). For each species, a color scale (G and H) depicting the water potential with each embolism event that occurred is shown below the corresponding image.
