• The total path length hydraulic resistance according to known anatomical patterns: what is the shape of the root-to-leaf tension gradient along the plant longitudinal axis?
• Linking phloem function to structure: analysis with a coupled xylem-phloem transport model
• Whole root system water conductance responds to both axial and radial traits and network topology over natural range of trait variation
