Cavitation in plants at low temperature : is sap transport limited by the tensile strength of water as expected from Briggs' Z-tube experiment?
Xylem cavitation in plants is thought to be caused by a loss of adhesion at the conduit wall surface because a rupture in the body of the water column was implicitly ruled out by an experiment by Lyman J. Briggs with Z-tube capillaries. However, Briggs reported a drastic increase in cavitation press...
