Petiole-Lamina Transition Zone: A Functionally Crucial but Often Overlooked Leaf Trait
Plants, 2021 Although both the petiole and lamina of foliage leaves have been thoroughly studied, the transition zone between them has often been overlooked. We aimed to identify objectively measurable morphological and anatomical criteria for a generally valid ...
