In the current work, we present the first in vivo visualization of this phenomenon. In two separate experiments, using magnetic resonance imaging or synchrotron-based microcomputed tomography, grapevines (Vitis vinifera) were dehydrated while simultaneously scanning the main stems and petioles for the occurrence of emboli at different xylem pressures (Ψx). Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that $50\%$ of the conductive xylem area of the petioles was embolized at a Ψx of −1.54 MPa, whereas the stems did not reach similar losses until −1.9 MPa. Microcomputed tomography confirmed these findings, showing that approximately half the vessels in the petioles were embolized at a Ψx of −1.6 MPa, whereas only few were embolized in the stems. Petioles were shown to be more resistant to water stress-induced embolism than previously measured with invasive hydraulic methods. The results provide the first direct evidence for the hydraulic vulnerability segmentation hypothesis and highlight its importance in grapevine responses to severe water stress. Additionally, these data suggest that air entry through the petiole into the stem is unlikely in grapevines during drought.}, cin = {IBG-2}, ddc = {570}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IBG-2-20101118}, pnm = {582 - Plant Science (POF3-582)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-582}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000382981100003}, pubmed = {pmid:26648337}, doi = {10.1111/pce.12688}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/817741}, }
