Intraspecific variation in the magnitude and pattern of flooding-induced shoot elongation in Rumex palustris.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Since the proposal of the cohesion theory there has been a paradox that the lumenal surface of vessels is rich in hydrophobic lignin, while tension in the rising sap requires adhesion to a hydrophilic surface. This study sought to characterize the strength of that adhesion in maize (Zea mays), the w...
