Abstract excerpt
Comparative studies suggest that a positive correlation between xylem water transport and photosynthesis is adaptive. A requirement for the adaptive evolution of coordination between xylem and photosynthetic functions is the presence of genetic variation and covariation for these traits within populations. Here it was determined whether there was genetic variation and covariation for leaf blade hydraulic...
