Abstract excerpt
Efficient water uptake and transport through xylem vessels are essential for plant growth and development. The patterned secondary cell wall (SCW) structure of xylem vessels provides robust mechanical support to withstand the strong negative pressure generated by transpiration and facilitates long-distance water transport. However, the key factors governing SCW patterning in xylem vessels and their potential for...
