Sentence examples for water conduction from inspiring English sources

Remarkably, there exists a liana Tasmannia cordata (Winteraceae) that is genetically unable to produce vessels and instead uses tracheids for water conduction, achieving much lower hydraulic conductivities than lianas with vessels.

Tracheids, the primitive conducting cells, have evolved into fibres for mechanical strength and vessels for water conduction, particularly in angiosperms.

The woody tissue, xylem, contains highly specialized cells for water conduction.

Saboe, P. O. et al. Role of pore-lining residues in defining the rate of water conduction by aquaporin-0.

In some highly specialized tree species with large vessels (such as some oaks, ashes, and others), only the very outermost growth ring functions in water conduction.

Vines and lianas differ from trees in that their xylem serves primarily for water conduction; they depend, for the most part, on other plants for support.

Flowering plants have a more highly specialized xylem, in which the mechanical function and the water-conduction function have been separated during evolution.

Plants with large, highly efficient vessels are much more vulnerable to injury, as is evident, for example, from the vulnerability of the elm, which has large vessels, to Dutch elm disease, in which the water-conduction vessels are injured by beetle activity and fungal growth.

Combining low frequency electromagnetic energy with hot air or hot water eliminated conduction as a major rate-limiting factor because the energy was directly delivered to the fruit interior.

If there is a strong curvature of the part or air bubbles are present in the water coupling conduction is typical not adequate and marked as red.

Processes implemented within the model include thermal conduction, water movement (using pedotransfer functions to determine hydraulic conductivity, matric potential and related parameters), organic matter pool dynamics and gas/solute diffusion.
