Functional Mapping of Genes Modulating Plant Shade Avoidance Using Leaf Traits
Plants, 2023 Shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) refers to a set of plant responses that increases light capture in dense stands. This process is crucial for plants in natural and agricultural environments as they compete for resources and avoid suboptimal conditions. Although the molecular, biochemical, and physiological mechanisms underlying the SAS response have been

The effect of experimental warming on leaf functional traits, leaf structure and leaf biochemistry in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2011 Abstract Background The leaf is an important plant organ, and how it will respond to future global warming is a question that remains unanswered. The effects of experimental warming on leaf photosynthesis and respiration acclimation has been well studied so far, but relatively little information exists on the ...

Latitudinal, soil and climate effects on key leaf traits in northeastern China
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 s: The spatial differentiation of plant functional traits reflects the survival strategies of plants to adapt to climate change. However, the mechanisms that guide this phenomenon, especially along latitude gradients, remain unclear.

Leaf metabolic traits reveal hidden dimensions of plant form and function
Science Advances, 2023 The metabolome is the biochemical basis of plant form and function, but we know little about its macroecological variation across the plant kingdom. Here, we used the plant functional trait concept to interpret leaf metabolome variation among 457 tropical and 339 temperate plant species.

Coordination in functional traits of Populus euphratica leaves under salt stress
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Leaf functional traits allow plant survival and maintain their ecosystem function. Salinity affects leaf functional traits, but coordination among leaf functional traits is poorly known and may depend on salt severity.

Leaf reflectance and functional traits as environmental indicators of urban dust deposition [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Abstract Background How to quickly predict and evaluate urban dust deposition is the key to the control of urban atmospheric environment. Here, we focus on changes of plant reflectance and plant functional traits due to dust deposition, and develop a prediction model of dust deposition based on these traits.
