Quantification of Daily Water Requirements of Container-Grown Calathea and Stromanthe Produced in a Shaded Greenhouse

Water (Switzerland), 2018
Irrigating plants based on their water requirements enhances water use efficiency and conservation; however, current irrigation practices for container-grown greenhouse plants largely relies on growers’ experiences, resulting in leaching and/or ...

Leaf movement in Calathea lutea (Marantaceae)

Oecologia, 1985
Calathea lutea is a broad-leaved, secondary successional plant which shows complex leaf movements involving both elevation and folding of the leaf surface about the pulvinus. In the plants studied, mean leaf elevation increased from approximately 34 degrees in the early morning to 70 degrees at noon while the angle of leaf folding increased from 13 ...

ANT DISPERSAL OF CALATHEA (MARANTACEAE) SEEDS BY CARNIVOROUS PONERINES (FORMICIDAE) IN A TROPICAL RAIN FOREST

American Journal of Botany, 1980
Two tropical herbaceous plant species, Calathea microcephala and Calathea ovandensis, exhibit morphological adaptations for seed dispersal by ants. In the field, 21 ant species are attracted to the arils of the seeds.

Carbohydrate partitioning and metabolism during acclimatization of micropropagated Calathea

Plant Growth Regulation, 1998
Regulation of carbohydrate metabolism and compartmentation were studied during the acclimatization of tissue cultured Calathea plantlets. At transplantation plants were characterised by a heterotrophic metabolism with roots and stems as the main storage organs for carbohydrates. As acclimatization proceeded, a switch to autotrophic growth was observed:

Molecular phylogeny and redefined generic limits of Calathea (Marantaceae)

2012
Calathea, with an estimated 285 species, is the largest genus of Marantaceae and an important component of Neotropical herbaceous diversity. The genus is also of high importance for horticulture as species are cultivated for their showy, patterned leaves.
