If cohesion-tension transpiration theory is correct then a break in water column in xylem vessels :

1. should cause the mesophyll cells to become flaccid and result in wilting of leaves.

2. should increase the water contents of leaves

3. shouls have no effect at all

4. should increase the rate of photosynthesis.
