Phloem conductance from leaf to fruits in avocado during development
Reproductive function in seed plants depends on efficiently allocating nutrients from sources to developing fruits. Hydraulic transport of carbohydrates largely depends on phloem architecture, but how phloem structure in fruit pedicels changes with development remains unexplored for most seed plants. Using the one-year phenology of avocado trees, we quantified water content, dry matter, and…
