The 58 pages that link to Xylem, each with the reason it gives.

• Capillary actionBroader topic: Narrow xylem conduits support capillary effects alongside transpiration and water cohesion.

• RhizomeRelated: Xylem carries water through the rhizome to developing shoots.

• LigninRelated: Lignified xylem walls resist collapse as water moves under tension.

• LeafRelated: Xylem supplies the water lost from leaves during transpiration.

• PhloemCompared with: Xylem transports water and minerals, whereas phloem distributes organic nutrients between sources and sinks.

• WoodNarrower topic: Wood is the secondary xylem produced by woody plants.

• TranspirationBroader topic: Water lost from leaves is replenished through this conducting tissue.

• Flowering plantRelated: Its vessels are a prominent feature of many flowering plant lineages.

• FernRelated: Xylem lets many ferns grow larger than nonvascular plants.

• Vascular plantBroader topic: Its water-conducting cells form one of the two defining vascular tissues.

• GraftingRelated: New xylem across the graft union restores much of the water pathway.

• Cut flowerBroader topic: Open xylem vessels carry vase water into the harvested stem.

• Vascular cambiumRelated: Secondary xylem is one of the cambium’s two principal products.

• LycophyteRelated: Xylem enables lycophytes to transport water through upright shoots.

• RootRelated: Xylem carries resources absorbed by roots toward shoots and leaves.

• Plant anatomyBroader topic: Its vessels and tracheids are recognizable internal structures in vascular plants.

• CohesionBroader topic: Cohesion helps keep water columns continuous as they rise through xylem.

• Dutch elm diseaseBroader topic: Fungal growth and the tree's responses obstruct water movement through this tissue.

• Plant nutritionRelated: Xylem carries many absorbed mineral nutrients upward with the transpiration stream.

• Plant physiologyBroader topic: Its vessels and tracheids form the main pathway for upward water transport.

• Plant stemRelated: Its water-conducting vessels run through stems and also help keep them upright.

• Plant tissueBroader topic: Its conducting cells form the plant’s principal water-transport tissue.

• TreeBroader topic: Xylem carries water upward through a tree and contributes much of its wood.

• Tree ringNarrower topic: Tree rings are made from the secondary xylem produced by woody trees.

• Vascular tissueBroader topic: It carries water and minerals, the main substances transported by one branch of vascular tissue.

• Woody plantRelated: Secondary xylem forms most of the wood in woody stems and roots.

• Wood grainRelated: The elongated cells of secondary xylem largely determine wood’s grain direction.

• AmborellaRelated: Amborella lacks vessel elements, a feature relevant to reconstructing early angiosperm wood.

• Deciduous plantRelated: Water supply constrains leaf function during freezing or dry seasons.

• EmbryophyteRelated: Xylem lets many embryophytes move water from roots to aerial tissues.

• MicrophyllRelated: Xylem forms part of the vascular strand running through a microphyll.

• PopulusRelated: Populus wood is largely xylem, making its formation a central research topic.

• TracheidNarrower topic: Tracheids are one of the two principal water-conducting cell types in xylem.

• EuphyllophyteRelated: Its evolution helped enable the complex bodies found across vascular plants.

• MistletoeRelated: Mistletoes commonly obtain water and minerals by connecting their haustoria to host xylem.

• Panama diseaseRelated: Fungal growth and plant responses impair water movement through this tissue.

• RhyniophyteRelated: Xylem occurs in the preserved central conducting strands of several rhyniophytes.

• Acer saccharumRelated: Xylem pathways conduct sap through the trunk during the sugaring season.

• Ulmus americanaRelated: Dutch elm disease blocks water-conducting vessels in the tree.

• EndodermisRelated: The endodermis regulates substances before they enter the root’s xylem.

• Fusarium wiltRelated: Fusarium colonizes this water-conducting tissue as disease develops.

• LeafhopperRelated: Some leafhoppers specialize in extracting dilute xylem sap.

• Petrified woodBroader topic: Its vessels and fibers form much of the anatomy visible in petrified wood.

• Sequoia sempervirensRelated: Water must travel through xylem from the roots to a coast redwood's high canopy.

• ZosterophyllRelated: Its water-conducting tissue let zosterophyll axes grow upright on land.

• Adansonia digitataRelated: Xylem moves water through the tree’s unusually large trunk and branches.

• PolysporangiophyteRelated: Xylem helped vascular members support upright, branching sporophytes.

• ProgymnospermRelated: Progymnosperm wood consisted largely of secondary xylem.

• PteridophyteRelated: Its water-conducting tissue enables pteridophytes to grow larger than nonvascular plants.

• AphrophoridaeRelated: Many spittlebugs feed on xylem sap, a dilute fluid that requires high intake.
