Changes in oak (Quercus robur) photosynthesis after winter moth (Operophtera brumata) herbivory are not explained by changes in chemical or structural leaf traits [PDF]
, 2020 Insect herbivores have the potential to change both physical and chemical traits of their host plant. Although the impacts of herbivores on their hosts have been widely studied, experiments assessing changes in multiple leaf traits or functions ...

Plant trait measurement in 3D for growth monitoring
Plant Methods, 2022 Abstract Background There is a demand for non-destructive systems in plant phenotyping which could precisely measure plant traits for growth monitoring. In this study, the growth of chilli plants (Capsicum annum L.) was monitored in outdoor conditions.

Above- and belowground herbivory jointly impact defense and seed dispersal traits in Taraxacum officinale [PDF]
, 2014 Plants are able to cope with herbivores by inducing defensive traits or growth responses that allow them to reduce or avoid the impact of herbivores. Since above- and belowground herbivores differ substantially in life-history traits, for example feeding

Association between threshold size and motif length of microsatellite markers with growth traits and Keliber ratio in commercial goats [PDF]
مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2016 Microsatellite genotyping can always be prone to genotyping errors which significantly affect the entire subsequent analysis. One of the new approaches to overcome this problem is an alternative method of using a clustering system of genotypes based on ...
