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).
