Which consequence results from disrupting plant xylem embolism repair?

💡 Explanation

Susceptibility to water stress occurs because embolism blocks xylem’s cavitation repair affecting the cohesion-tension mechanism, therefore transport is impaired, rather than enhanced nutrient levels because of the disrupted water flow.
