    If the leaves of deciduous plant fall off during winter or summer as it might be, how does it allow for transport of materials within it without the transpiration pull that normally causes movement of substances within it?

    		Deciduous plants normally go dormant when they have no leaves... hence having no leaves.

    		Yes, but they still have to perform respiration, don't they? And if the leaves have all fallen off, then I don't think that exchange of gases will be possible to a sufficient extent via the lenticels.

    Actually, I don't know the answer to this either, so I'm open to any suggestion whatsoever.
