Effects of static bending on the stem hydraulic conductance
| Bending |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (% of control) | r = 80 mm | r = 62.5 mm | r = 55 mm | After bending |
| Picea abies | 90.8 ± 3.5* | 83.9 ± 2.3* | 80.5 ± 2.4* | 87.7 ± 1.5* |
| Pinus sylvestris | 97.6 ± 0.9 | 91.9 ± 1.8 | 89.0 ± 2.3 | 90.0 ± 2.3 |
Conductance of samples (related to initial conductance, % of control) after bending at different radii and release of bending stress (after bending). Stars indicate significant differences from unbent control at P ≤ 0.05. n = 6.
