Re-creation of a Key Step in the Evolutionary Switch from C₃ to C₄ Leaf Anatomy. [PDF]

Curr Biol, 2017
Summary The C4 photosynthetic pathway accounts for ∼25% of primary productivity on the planet despite being used by only 3% of species. Because C4 plants are higher yielding than C3 plants, efforts are underway to introduce the C4 pathway into the C3 ...

Long-Term Effects of Red- and Blue-Light Emitting Diodes on Leaf Anatomy and Photosynthetic Efficiency of Three Ornamental Pot Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Light quality critically affects plant development and growth. Development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) enables the use of narrow band red and/or blue wavelengths as supplementary lighting in ornamental production.

Does leaf anatomy aid in species identification of Butia (Arecaceae)? [PDF]

AoB Plants, 2018
Our paper presents reliable anatomical characters of the pinnae that allowed the identification of the recognized species of Butia through a purely anatomical key, in which specific identification is performed by a set of up to five characters.

Identification among morphologically similar Argyreia (Convolvulaceae) based on leaf anatomy and phenetic analyses. [PDF]

Bot Stud, 2017
BackgroundThe genus Argyreia Lour. is one of the species-rich Asian genera in the family Convolvulaceae. Several species complexes were recognized in which taxon delimitation was imprecise, especially when examining herbarium materials without fully ...

Limited acclimation in leaf anatomy to experimental drought in tropical rainforest trees. [PDF]

Tree Physiol, 2016
Dry periods are predicted to become more frequent and severe in the future in some parts of the tropics, including Amazonia, potentially causing reduced productivity, higher tree mortality and increased emissions of stored carbon.

Differences in leaf anatomy determines temperature response of leaf hydraulic and mesophyll CO2 conductance in phylogenetically related C4 and C3 grass species.

New Phytologist, 2021
Leaf hydraulic and mesophyll CO2 conductance are both influenced by leaf anatomical traits. However, it is poorly understood how the temperature response of these conductances differ between C4 and C3 species with distinct leaf anatomy.

High photosynthesis rate in the selected wild rice is driven by leaf anatomy mediating high Rubisco activity and electron transport rate.

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2021
The importance of increasing photosynthetic efficiency for sustainable crop yield increases to feed the growing world population is well recognized.

Reassessing species boundaries in the Syagrus glaucescens complex (Arecaceae) using leaf anatomy

Botany, 2021
The Syagrus glaucescens complex comprises three species: Syagrus glaucescens Glaz. ex Becc., Syagrus duartei Glassman, and Syagrus evansiana Noblick. Recently, a new population of S.

The Evolutionary Basis of Naturally Diverse Rice Leaves Anatomy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Rice contains genetically and ecologically diverse wild and cultivated species that show a wide variation in plant and leaf architecture. A systematic characterization of leaf anatomy is essential in understanding the dynamics behind such diversity ...

Differences in leaf anatomy, photosynthesis, and photoprotective strategies in the yellow-green leaf mutant and wild type of Rosa beggeriana Schrenk

Photosynthetica, 2020
Although the underlying mechanisms of chlorophyll biosynthesis have been intensively deciphered in model plants, leaf color mutants have not yet been fully studied in woody species.
