Structural and functional responses of xylem in Rhizophora mucronata Lam. seedlings under drought and hypersaline conditions

Water translocation in mangrove seedlings is often affected by water stress conditions such as drought, hyper-salinities and their frequent variations. This study was therefore aimed at studying the wood anatomical responses of xylem tissue and hydraulic conductivity of Rhizophora mucronata Lam., a...
