Leaf area is an important parameter when determining growth response under normal as well as stressed environments. No attempt had been made to come up with an affordable but accurate alternative of measuring leaf size in research neglected leafy ...

Suppression of Leaf Blade Development by BLADE-ON-PETIOLE Orthologs Is a Common Strategy for Underground Rhizome Growth [PDF]
Rhizomes are modified stems that grow horizontally underground in various perennial species, a growth habit that is advantageous for vigorous asexual proliferation. In Oryza longistaminata, a rhizomatous wild relative of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa), leaves in the aerial shoots consist of a distal leaf blade and a proximal leaf sheath [1]. Leaf blade

Anatomical Mechanisms of Leaf Blade Morphogenesis in Sasaella kogasensis ‘Aureostriatus’
There are limited studies on the cytology of bamboo leaf development from primordium to maturity. This study delves into the leaf morphological characteristics and growth patterns of Sasaella kogasensis ‘Aureostriatus’ and provides a three-dimensional ...

AUXIN IN RELATION TO LEAF BLADE ABSCISSION [PDF]
It is a.common observation that a leaf stalk usually abscises shortly after the removal of its blade. La Rue (2) delayed this abscission of debladed leaf stalks by the application of indoleacetic acid to the stalk. Compounds related to indoleacetic acid also have delayed the premature abscission of leaves and fruits (1, 3).

Morphological characteristics and proportion of leaf blade tissues of elephant grass clones under sheep grazing [PDF]
: The objective of this work was to characterize morphologically elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) genotypes and to estimate their proportions of leaf blade tissues under grazing. Two tall varieties (Elephant B and IRI-381) and three short ones (Mott,

CARBON FLUXES IN LEAF BLADES OF BARLEY [PDF]
SummaryGas exchange, mass of carbohydrates, and turnover of carbohydrates, have been followed diurnally in barley leaf blades. Mature second leaf blades store sucrose, which occurs in at least two types of pool which turn over at different rates. Over a light‐dark cycle, photosynthesis, sucrose synthesis and translocation all show appreciable changes ...

Central rib and the nutritive value of leaves in forage grasses
In grasses, leaf expansion and central rib growth occur in a non-proportional manner, with potential implications to the nutritive value of leaves. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship among blade length, percentage of central rib,

Microtubule-Mediated Wall Anisotropy Contributes to Leaf Blade Flattening [PDF]
Plant organs can adopt a wide range of shapes, resulting from highly directional cell growth and divisions. We focus here on leaves and leaf-like organs in Arabidopsis and tomato, characterized by the formation of thin, flat laminae. Combining experimental approaches with 3D mechanical modeling, we provide evidence that leaf shape depends on cortical ...
