← Nature & AnimalsWhich reduction in leaf water potential minimizes xylem embolism?
A)Increased stomatal density prevents cavitation
B)Elevated root pressure reverses flow✓
C)Decreased xylem diameter limits area
D)Lowered leaf abscisic acid increases turgor
💡 Explanation
Water stress causes increased cavitation due to negative xylem pressure; therefore, elevated root pressure promotes refilling via positive pressure flux, rather than stomatal changes because these affect water loss or vessel dimensions without addressing xylem.
