Abstract

Xylem vessels have long been proposed as a key innovation for the ecological diversification of angiosperms by providing a breakthrough in hydraulic efficiency to support high rates of photosynthesis and growth. However, recent studies demonstrated that angiosperm woods with structurally primitive vessels did not have greater whole stem hydraulic capacities as compared to vesselless angiosperms.
