Plant venation: from succulence to succulents
Abstract
Succulent plants dominate certain semi-arid habitats. A new study shows independent origins of 3D venation reflect hydraulic advantages for tissue succulence, and has implications for the molecular development of venation and tissue differentiation, as well as the evolution of crassulacean acid metabolism.
