Hydraulic conductance and K+ transport into the xylem depend on radial volume flow, rather than on xylem pressure, in roots of intact, transpiring maize seedlings

The investigation of transport processes in roots has so far been hampered by a lack of adequate methods to study water and solute transport simultaneously in intact, transpiring plants. The role of xylem tension in regulating volume flow and nutrient transport could not be addressed properly. In or...
