520 |a The widening of xylem vessels from tip to base of trees is an adaptation to minimize the hydraulic resistance of a long pathway. Given that parallel veins of monocot leaves do not branch hierarchically, vessels should also widen basipetally but, in addition to minimizing resistance, should also account for water volume lost to transpiration since they supply water to the lamina along their lengths, that is 'leakiness'. We measured photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and vessel diameter at five locations along each leaf of five perennial grass species. We found that the rate of conduit widening in grass leaves was larger than the widening exponent required to minimize pathlength resistance (0.35 vs c. 0.22). Furthermore, variation in the widening exponent among species was positively correlated with maximal stomatal conductance (r2  = 0.20) and net CO2 assimilation (r2  = 0.45). These results suggest that faster rates of conduit widening (> 0.22) were associated with higher rates of water loss. Taken together, our results show that the widening exponent is linked to plant function in grass leaves and that natural selection has favored parallel vein networks that are constructed to meet transpiration requirements while minimizing hydraulic resistance within grass blades
