AI Article Synopsis
- Land plants maintain a balance in leaf water content to prevent damage and optimize resource use.
- This balance is achieved through the coordination of xylem (water delivery) and stomata (water loss).
- The review examines the evolution of xylem and stomatal functions and their interactions.
Article Abstract
Land plants exhibit a degree of homeostasis in leaf water content to protect against damage to photosynthetic and xylem tissues, and to maintain an efficient allocation of resources. This is achieved by a strong coordination between the systems regulating water delivery (xylem) and water loss (stomata). This review discusses evolution in xylem and stomatal function, specifically focussing on the interactions between them.
