Plant strategies for greatest height: tapering or hollowing
Scientific Reports, 2023 The tapered form and hollow cross-section of the stem and trunk of wild plants are rational mechanical approaches because they facilitate the plant simultaneously growing taller for photosynthesis and supporting its own weight.

Apical bud removal increased seed yield in hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019 In plants, apical dominance prevents the development of lateral shoots. It can be overwhelmed by apical bud defoliation, allowing numerous lateral buds to develop into more lateral branches carrying more fruits and possibly increasing seed yield.

Responses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants to iron deficiency in the root zone [PDF]
, 2019 Iron deficiency induces a yellowing in the aerial part of plants, known as iron chlorosis, and reduces the growth, yield, and quality of the fruits. Understanding plant response to iron deficiency is essential for agronomic management. This study decoded
