Why does low intensity, long-day lighting promote growth in Petunia, Impatiens, and tomato? [PDF]
, 2008 Numerous reports demonstrate that low intensity, long-day (LD) lighting treatments can promote growth. However, there are conflicting suggestions as to the mechanisms involved.

Coexistence trend contingent to Mediterranean oaks with different leaf habits [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 AbstractIn a previous work we developed a mathematical model to explain the co‐occurrence of evergreen and deciduous oak groups in the Mediterranean region, regarded as one of the distinctive features of Mediterranean biodiversity. The mathematical analysis showed that a stabilizing mechanism resulting from niche difference (i.e.

Four new species of Perilimnastes (Sonerileae, Melastomataceae) from Vietnam [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2023 Perilimnastes is a genus currently treated in the polyphyletic Phyllagathis. Recent phylogenomic analyses have identified a morphologically cohesive lineage referred to as the Phyllagathis (raphides) clade, which should be excluded from Phyllagathis and ...

Scorzonera sensu lato (Asteraceae, Cichorieae) – taxonomic reassessment in the light of new molecular phylogenetic and carpological analyses [PDF]
, 2020 Scorzonera comprises 180–190 species and belongs to the subtribe Scorzonerinae. Its circumscription has long been the subject of debate and available molecular phylogenetic analyses affirmed the polyphyly of Scorzonera in its wide sense.

The Penalty of a Long, Hot Summer. Photosynthetic Acclimation to High CO2 and Continuous Light in “Living Fossil” Conifers [PDF]
, 2003 Deciduous forests covered the ice-free polar regions 280 to 40 million years ago under warm “greenhouse” climates and high atmospheric pCO2. Their deciduous habit is frequently interpreted as an adaptation for minimizing carbon losses during winter, but ...

Morphological descriptor for DUS testing of Indian jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016 A total of 24 varieties of Indian jujube or ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) were characterized based on morphological characters, viz. growth habit, foliage, thorn, fruit and stone. The erect growth habit was noticed in two varieties, viz. Dharki No.

Leaf habit does not predict leaf functional traits in cerrado woody species
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2013 Plant species with a high leaf life span (LLS) commonly have a low specific leaf area (SLA), leaf nitrogen per unit mass (N), and phosphorous concentration (P), whereas species with low LLS have a high SLA, N and P. However, LLS tends to be longer in species growing in low-nutrient soils and, therefore, differences in LLS and other leaf traits may not ...
