Biomechanical Model of the Xylem Vessels in Vascular Plants
• Background and Aims The xylem, or water transport system, in vascular plants adopts different morphologies that appear sequentially during growth phases. This paper proposes an explanation of these morphologies based on engineering design principles. • Methods Using microscopic observations of the...
