A leaf-mimicking moth uses nanostructures to create 3D leaf shape appearance
Current BiologyNature provides many astonishing examples of visual deception, from fish that resemble leaves to spiders and butterfly pupae that look like bird droppings or moth larvae that bear a striking resemblance to the head and neck of a tree snake.1,2 Most types of camouflage rely on preventing object detection, but this strategy of resemblance, known as ...

Effects of photoperiod on leaf appearance rate and leaf dimensions in winter and spring wheats
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1996Research on genotypic variation in the response of leaf-area production and expansion to photoperiod in wheat is limited. Growth-cabinet experiments using four spring and four winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars and four photoperiod (8, 12, 16 and 20 h) treatments were thus conducted with the objective of investigating the effect of ...

Humidity does not appear to trigger leaf out in woody plants
International Journal of Biometeorology, 2017In order to anticipate the ecological impacts of climate change and model changes to forests, it is important to understand the factors controlling spring leaf out. Leaf out phenology in woody trees and shrubs is generally considered to be strongly controlled by a combination of spring warming, winter chilling requirement, and photoperiod.

Leaf appearance and senescence patterns of some pasture species
Grass and Forage Science, 1995AbstractFive pasture species, very different in their morphological organization (four dicotyledons: Plantago lanceolata, Sanguisorba minor, Ranunculus repens, Taraxacum officinalis and one grass: Dactylis glomerata), were grown as spaced plants in pots, thus excluding competition for light, to study the proportion of senescent leaves.

Towards a Robust Method of Modelling Leaf Appearance in Plants [PDF]
, 1998 The thermal interval for leaf tip appearance (phyllochron) is a critical variable for modelling plant development and growth. Phyllochron varies across environments, but is generally constant for a species grown in specific environments. For example, the phyllochron in maize is lower in temperate environments than in tropical and subtropical ...

The Impact of Temperature on Leaf Appearance in Bambara Groundnut Landraces
Crop Science, 2003Ten bambara groundnut [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc] landraces of diverse origin were used to examine the effect of temperature on the rate of leaf appearance (RLA) and to determine the base temperature (Tb) among landraces. Knowledge of leaf development is required in breeding programs where crop morphological development is considered an important ...

Crop Science, 1996
Response of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) leaf area to water deficit depends on three processes: individual leaf expansion, phytomer production, and stolon branching. We have evaluated these processes in five clones under a wide range of conditions.

Effect of Temperature on Time to Panicle Initiation and Leaf Appearance in Sorghum
Crop Science, 1998Leaf‐tip appearance and duration from planting to panicle initiation (PI) are important developmental processes in cereals. This study was conducted to determine the effect of air temperature on rates of leaf‐tip appearance and 1/PI for sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench].

Temperature response function for leaf appearance rate in wheat and corn
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1999The ability to predict leaf appearance would enhance our capability of modeling plant development and the rate of leaf area expansion. Many crop models use the constant thermal time for successive leaf tip appearance (which is often termed a phyllochron) as one model parameter to predict total number of leaves and date of anthesis.

Role of Leaf Appearance Rate and the Coleoptile Tiller in Regulating Production
Crop Science, 1994Forage production in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) depends on elongation of existing leaves and production of new leaves and tillers. Genetic selection for high leaf elongation rate (LER), however, results in plants with limited tillering capacity.
