Revealing catastrophic failure of leaf networks under stress
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Water sustains photosynthesis and growth of land plants, but it must be transported from the soil to leaves under high tension. Drying soil leads to an increase in water tension, exposing plants to the problem of breakage of the water column, causing embolisms that cut off water supply, leading to tissue death during drought. The ability of leaves to resist embolism formation is a key adaptive axis in plant evolution, and yet the process itself has never been visualized in the leaf venation. We describe a new optical method that allows the evolution and spread of embolism in the entire leaf network to be mapped, thus revealing general rules in the sequence of leaf vein transport failure.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
