3D Morphological Feature Quantification and Analysis of Corn Leaves

open access: yesPlant Phenomics
Marked variations in the 3-dimensional (3D) shape of corn leaves can be discerned as a function of various influences, including genetics, environmental factors, and the management of cultivation processes.

Within‐tree spatial heterogeneity of sap flow velocities and wood properties and its effect on the uncertainty of tree level sap flux estimates

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Linear measurements of the leaf blade in xaraes and massai grasses for estimation of the leaf area

open access: yesBiotemas, 2013
Knowledge on the leaf area of foraging grasses is essential, since it’s one of the most important variables in the evaluation of plant growth. Thus, one aimed at determining equations which allow, through simple measurements of leaf length, as well as average and maximum width, to quickly and accurately estimate the actual leaf area of Brachiaria ...

A composite, host‐participatory haustorium links host compatibility to defence bifurcation in Alectra vogelii (Orobanchaceae)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae are among the most damaging constraints on food production in the tropics, draining water and nutrients from their hosts and threatening the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. Yellow witchweed (Alectra vogelii) can destroy entire legume harvests across sub‐Saharan Africa, where these crops are a ...

A procedure for standardizing comparative leaf anatomy in the Poaceae. I. The leaf-blade as viewed in transverse section

open access: yesBothalia, 1976
Descriptive “keys”, including definitions and diagrams, for standardizing and simplifying the description of grass leaf structure as seen in transverse section are given. Over 500 characters are included with the possibility for expansion to 999. Notes on variation and taxonomic importance of the characters are also included.

Discovery of edodine, a natural compound from Lentinula edodes with antibacterial activity for the biological control of fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Novel edodine was identified from Lentinula edodes HK761, exhibiting biocontrol potential against fire blight by affecting motility, intracellular ATP level, and cell division of Erwinia amylovora. Abstract BACKGROUND In the search for biological resources with antibacterial activity against Erwinia amylovora, the culture filtrate of Lentinula edodes ...
