Stem Diameter Fluctuations Provide a New Window into Plant Water Status and Function
Robert P. Skelton
Abstract
Knowledge of the spatiotemporal dynamics of water storage in plant stems is fundamental to understanding plant physiological function under drought stress ([Tyree and Yang, 1990][1]; [Holbrook, 1995][2]; [Skelton, 2019][3]). Usually such processes, including reversible living-cell dehydration-
