Beech leaf disease (BLD) damage is associated with the parasitic nematode Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii. Foliar symptoms manifest as darkened or chlorotic galls in the interveinal portions in the leaf, which become leathery and crinkled under high ...

Divergent drivers of leaf trait variation within species, among species, and among functional groups. [PDF]
Understanding variation in leaf functional traits-including rates of photosynthesis and respiration and concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus-is a fundamental challenge in plant ecophysiology. When expressed per unit leaf area, these traits typically

Crassulacean acid metabolism in the Gesneriaceae [PDF]
The occurrence of the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was studied in four epiphytic species of the Gesneriaceae: two neotropical species, Codonanthe crassifolia and Columnea linearis, and two paleotropical species, Aoschynanthus pulcher and ...

Maize open-pollinated populations physiological improvement: validating tools for drought response participatory selection [PDF]
Participatory selection—exploiting specific adaptation traits to target environments—helps to guarantees yield stability in a changing climate, in particular under low-input or organic production.

Impact of canopy environmental variables on the diurnal dynamics of water and carbon dioxide exchange at leaf and canopy level [PDF]
Quantifying water vapor and carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange dynamics between the land and the atmosphere through observations and modeling is necessary in order to reproduce and project near-surface climate in coupled land–atmosphere models.

Performance assessment of three old pear cultivars (Pyrus communis L.) to cope drought caused by climate change [PDF]
Purpose: The evaluation of the response of three old pear cultivars (’Meski Arteb’, ‘Bouguedma’ and ‘Alexandrine’) to drought was performed through some physiological traits and leaf characteristics.

Increasing leaf hydraulic conductance with transpiration rate minimizes the water potential drawdown from stem to leaf. [PDF]
Leaf hydraulic conductance (k leaf) is a central element in the regulation of leaf water balance but the properties of k leaf remain uncertain. Here, the evidence for the following two models for k leaf in well-hydrated plants is evaluated: (i) k leaf is
