1 INTRODUCTION Water transport from roots to shoots is essential for the function and survival of land plants. In terrestrial environments, as plants regularly face soil water restriction, their water transport system must be robust enough so that the negative pressures formed within the xylem do not result in embolism formation (Tyree and Sperry 1989; Johnson et al. 2022).

1 INTRODUCTION Understanding plant mortality in response to drought has been a recurrent topic in plant science, especially considering the growing number of die-off events being reported throughout the world (Hammond et al., 2022). Most studies, however, have focused on woody plant mortality, either because of their perennial life cycle or because of the critical ecosystem services they provide to humanity (Martinez-Vilalta et al., 2019; Trugman, 2022).

4.1 ABA levels and xylem embolism resistance Our results show that the internal levels of ABA do not impact the embolism resistance of stems of young (60 days old) plants of tomato in a similar way to what was observed for very old (170 day old) plants (Lamarque et al., 2020). This result contrasts with the negative impact of increased ABA levels on the stem embolism resistance of tomato plants at 90 and 120 days old (Lamarque et al., 2020).
