Example of relationship between architecture and hydraulics: maximal internodal distance ${\mathrm{d}}_{\mathrm{inter}}^{\ast }$ (left) and minimal ${{\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{lat}}}^{\ast }$ (right) that allows increasing the RS asymptotic conductance by 5% as compared to an unbranched root branch as a function of $\frac{{\mathrm{k}}_{\mathrm{r}}}{{\mathrm{k}}_{\mathrm{x}}}$ ratio of the main root
