Taxonomic implications of leaf morphology and epidermal anatomy for 14 species of Gagea (Liliaceae) from Xinjiang, China [PDF]
Botanical Studies, 2023 Background Leaf morphology and epidermal characters are important for phylogenetic and taxonomic studies of many plants, but there is currently insufficient data to use them to help distinguish species of Gagea, which is a taxonomically difficult genus ...

LEAF TIP RUMPLED 1 Regulates Leaf Morphology and Salt Tolerance in Rice. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Leaf morphology is one of the important traits related to ideal plant architecture and is an important factor determining rice stress resistance, which directly affects yield. Wax layers form a barrier to protect plants from different environmental stresses.

Leaf morphology shift linked to climate change [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2012 Climate change is driving adaptive shifts within species, but research on plants has been focused on phenology. Leaf morphology has demonstrated links with climate and varies within species along climate gradients. We predicted that, given within-species variation along a climate gradient, a morphological shift should have occurred over ...

Optimization of leaf morphology in relation to leaf water status: A theory. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 AbstractThe leaf economic traits such as leaf area, maximum carbon assimilation rate, and venation are all correlated and related to water availability. Furthermore, leaves are often broad and large in humid areas and narrower in arid/semiarid and hot and cold areas. We use optimization theory to explain these patterns.

Mechanisms Underlying the Environmentally Induced Plasticity of Leaf Morphology [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 The primary function of leaves is to provide an interface between plants and their environment for gas exchange, light exposure and thermoregulation. Leaves have, therefore a central contribution to plant fitness by allowing an efficient absorption of ...

Evaluating the retention of airborne microplastics on plant leaf: Influence of leaf morphology
Environmental PollutionAirborne microplastics (AMPs) have been identified in both indoor and outdoor environments and account for a large portion of an individual's daily exposure to microplastics. Thus, it is crucial to find effective methods to capture and control the levels of AMPs and ultimately reduce human exposure.
