Which outcome follows decreased root endodermis membrane water permeability?

💡 Explanation

Reduced permeability constrains water entry via osmosis, initiating decreased root pressure; because of the cohesion-tension mechanism in xylem, xylem’s water rise is limited, diminishing leaf transpiration. If water potential maintained, rather than restricted ascent, there follows lower, rather than higher xylem tension.
