Relationships between stem P50 and thickness of the intervessel pit membrane (TPM). (A) Linear regression between P50 and TPM. The adjusted R2 and the level of significance are given. Each dot represents one individual (on average two individuals per species). (B–D) Transmission electron microscope images of intervessel pits of Brassicaceae species showing thicker pit membranes (arrows) in species that are more embolism resistant; all the herbaceous Brassicaceae species studied have vestures (asterisks). (B) Raphanus raphanistrum. (C) Rapistrum rugosum. (D) Sisymbrium erysimoides. Scale bars represent 2 μm.
