Leaf Damage Induces Twining in a Climbing Plant [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2005
Successful climbing by vines not only prevents shading by neighbouring vegetation, but also may place the vines beyond ground herbivores. Here we tested the hypothesis that herbivory might enhance climbing in a vine species, and that such induced climbing should be greater in the shade.

Climbing Mechanisms and the Diversification of Neotropical Climbing Plants Across Time and Space

New Phytologist, 2023
Summary Climbers germinate on the ground but need external support to sustain their stems, which are maintained attached to supports through modified organs, that is, climbing mechanisms. Specialized climbing mechanisms have been linked to higher diversification rates. Also, different mechanisms may have different support diameter restrictions, which

A Procedural Approach to Modelling Virtual Climbing Plants With Tendrils

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, 2016
Climbing plants with tendrils show search and coiling behaviour. A tendril searches for a host object and then twines around it. Subsequently, the tendril coils to pull the main stem of the climbing plant close to the host object.

Evolution of a Climbing Habit Promotes Diversification in Flowering Plants

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London Series B, Biological Sciences, 2004
Key innovations are traits that are associated with the particular evolutionary \u27success\u27 of some taxonomic groups. Climbing plants depend on the availability of physical support to reach the canopy and thereby prevent shading by neighbouring ...

Climbing plants in Ghanaian forests.

2005
AbstractThe total number of forest climbers in Ghana has been recorded as 604 but this number has increased to 634 following further research and taxonomic revisions as the taxa become better known. The focus of this paper is on woody climbers (lianes), and the variation in liana biology and ecology is described for the commoner Ghanaian species. These
