How wood evolves: a new synthesis (2012, background): “Sperry et al. (2006) stated that “the evolution of vessels in angiosperms may have required early angiosperms to survive a phase of mechanic and hydraulic instability.””
Hydraulic Consequences of Vessel Evolution in Angiosperms (2007, background): “As previously shown (Sperry et al. 2006), the conduit resistivity of eudicots with simple perforation plates declined with diameter to the second power, in concert with the secondpower decline in lumen resistivity predicted by the HagenPoiseuille equation (fig.”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “, 2007), and vast adaptive variation has been demonstrated (e.g. Maherali et al., 2004; Sperry et al., 2006; Chave et al., 2009; McCulloh et al., 2010).”

Drought-induced changes in development and function of grapevine (Vitis spp.) organs and in their hydraulic and non-hydraulic interactions at the whole-plant level: a physiological and molecular update (2010, background): “This protects the stem from extreme xylem tensions during severe drought (Sperry et al. 2006).”
Wood anatomy and hydraulic architecture of stems and twigs of some Mediterranean trees and shrubs along a mesic-xeric gradient (2008, background): “Efficiency and safety of the hydraulic system, however, depend on composite characteristics involving not only the size and frequency of vessels but also cell wall and pit membrane features and relationships between vessels, fibres and tracheids (Martı́nez-Vilalta et al. 2002; Mc Culloh and Sperry 2”
Anatomical traits associated with absorption and mycorrhizal colonization are linked to root branch order in twenty-three Chinese temperate tree species. (2008, background): “Another explanation is that tracheids in conifers have lower conductivity than vessels in angiosperms so that more of them are needed by conifers to achieve a transport capacity comparable to that of angiosperms (Sperry et al., 2006).”
Sap flow and sugar transport in plants (2016, background): “Overall, end walls are thought to contribute 56%–64% of total xylem hydraulic resistance (Sperry, Hacke, and Pittermann, 2006).”
