The dynamic multi‐functionality of leaf water transport outside the xylem

New Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 6, Page 2099-2107, September 2023., 2023
Summary A surge of papers have reported low leaf vulnerability to xylem embolism during drought. Here, we focus on the less studied, and more sensitive, outside‐xylem leaf hydraulic responses to multiple internal and external conditions. Studies of 34 species have resolved substantial vulnerability to dehydration of the outside‐xylem pathways, and ...

Sequestration of Contaminants from Wastewater: A Review of Adsorption Processes

ChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 491-509, August 2023., 2023
Water being the most vital constituent of life is being contaminated by disposal of pollutants and toxic substances into the water bodies. Elimination of these toxicants is complex but extremely indispensable. Numerous methods have been applied for this purpose amongst which adsorption is the most effective, fast, simple, and inexpensive technique.
