Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Twenty minute tension relaxation produced less embolism than native tension harvest.
- Observation Xylem refilling occurred only after overnight hydration.
- Association In field vines, more than 85% stomatal closure preceded the xylem pressure for 12% conductivity loss.
- Method / resource The authors conclude that short relaxation reliably quantifies native embolism.
- Mechanism The authors infer that stomatal regulation avoids transpiration induced cavitation.
- Observation The authors infer a cavitation resistance strategy for grapevines.
