Coping with stress: mechanics of the expanding leaf [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2016 The precise control of physical properties of growing tissues is crucial for plant morphogenesis. Sahaf and Sharon (pages 5509–5515 in this issue) examined the mechanics of the expanding leaf and showed that plant tissues respond to stress by changing their mechanical properties.

Influence of Cajuput Leaf Residue on the Properties of Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate [PDF]
Discover MaterialsAbstract This study investigates the utilization of cajuput leaf residue as an additive in the production of Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregates (LECA). The solid cajuput residue, a by-product of cajuput oil extraction, was mixed with clay in varying ratios (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% by weight, denoted as 0%RW, 10%RW, 20%RW, 30%RW and 40%RW ...

Tender leaf and fully-expanded leaf exhibited distinct cuticle structure and wax lipid composition in Camellia sinensis cv Fuyun 6 [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractThe goal of the present study was to compare the structural and compositional differences of cuticle between tender leaf and fully-expanded leaf in Camellia sinensis, and provide metabolic base for the further characterization of wax biosynthesis in this economically important crop species.

Expanding clinical laboratory tobacco product evaluation methods to loose-leaf tobacco vaporizers [PDF]
Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2016 Novel tobacco products entering the US market include electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) and products advertised to "heat, not burn" tobacco. There is a growing literature regarding the acute effects of ECIGs. Less is known about "heat, not burn" products.

Expanding our understanding of leaf functional syndromes in savanna systems: the role of plant growth form [PDF]
Oecologia, 2017 The assessment of leaf strategies has been a common theme in ecology, especially where multiple sources of environmental constraints (fire, seasonal drought, nutrient-poor soils) impose a strong selection pressure towards leaf functional diversity, leading to inevitable tradeoffs among leaf traits, and ultimately to niche segregation among coexisting ...

Le Leaf Expander ® : alternative au disjoncteur classique dans l'expansion transversale maxillaire ?
Maxillary endognathia is a skeletal anomaly of the maxilla in the transverse dimension, characterized by a deficiency. Several etiologies of this malocclusion have been described, including genetic, functional, environmental, pathological, and hormonal ...

Expanding sugar beet's utility: genetic insights into leaf protein valorisation
Modern plant breeding has largely focused on improving crops for specific harvest organs such as fruits, seeds, or roots, while overlooking the substantial residual biomass generated during cultivation. These residues, often used for low-value purposes, contain valuable biochemicals (proteins, fibers, lipids, and bioactive compounds) that are suitable ...

Diazepam, the modulator of GABAA receptors, alters the leaf-folding and expanding speed of Mimosa pudica [PDF]
Abstract Mimosa pudica L. closes leaves in response to various stimuli. This curious reflex, called seismonastic movement, is said to be advantageous for their survival from predatory insects but is a trade-off between efficient energy acquisition.
