Context Root radial conductivity (kr) constitutes a major hydraulic resistance for water in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Yet, the complex organization and regulation of sub-cellular elements such as aquaporins and plasmodesmata limit our understanding of this system.Goals Unify root hydraulic principles across scales & reinterpret experiments under the light of an explicit root hydraulic anatomy model (MECHA)
