AB  - The ability to transport water through tall stems hydraulically limits stomatal conductance (g(s)), thereby constraining photosynthesis and growth. However, some plants are able to minimize this height-related decrease in g(s), regardless of path length. We hypothesized that kudzu (Pueraria lobata) prevents strong declines in g(s) with height through appreciable structural and hydraulic compensative alterations. We observed only a 12% decline in maximum g(s) along 15-m-long stems and were able t...
