While admittedly contested and only reproduced by a few labs outside Gerald Pollack&#x27;s at University of Washington, there is a solid case that it could play a role in transporting water and sap to the tops of trees. At least, it&#x27;s involved in the motion induced in hydrophilic tubes when there is sufficient ambient radiant energy (uv/infrared).
