Calculated values of the lumen resistance R_lumen, plate resistance R_plate, agglomeration resistance R_plug, and total resistance R determined from Equations (A3), (A4), (A5), and (A2) (see Supplemental Appendix 1 and Supplemental References 1 online). The results are given for two values of the effective sieve tube diameter d_e and three values of the agglomeration opening diameter d_o. d_e = 3.0 μm corresponds to a completely empty sieve tube, and d_e = 2.4 μm corresponds to a sieve tube with only 65% of the area open to flow. Results marked with an asterisk indicate the measured value of d_o = 1 μm. Results marked with (†) indicate the case where no At SEOR1 agglomerations are present.
