Susceptibility to olive quick decline syndrome is linked to xylem anatomy
Can differences in xylem anatomy explain the contrasting responses of two olive cultivars to infection by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa?

Hydraulic adjustments are of limited use in bracken fern
Changes in leaf anatomy, more than hydraulics, allowed the ferns to thrive in a high light environment.
Climate affects hydraulic and stomatal traits
Hydraulic integration in tree root vessels
Johnson et al. measure xylem embolism resistance and connectivity in roots of two co-occurring tree species in a semi-arid habitat, Quercus fusiformis and Sideroxylon lanuginosum.
Water stress, xylem hydraulic failure and tree death
The results of this study demonstrate that massive cavitation is probably a causal factor for tree mortality under extreme water stress conditions.
