Which water deficit consequence results when a soybean plant canopy experiences prolonged high vapor-pressure deficit?

💡 Explanation

Xylem embolism occurs due to increased tension from unchecked transpiration during a high vapor-pressure deficit; the cohesion-tension mechanism stresses the xylem vessels, because the water column snaps under excessive tension. This then leads to embolism, rather than increased root hydraulic conductivity.
