Divergence of three BRX homoeologs in Brassica rapa and its effect on leaf morphology. [PDF]
Hortic Res, 2021 The leafy head characteristic is a special phenotype of Chinese cabbage resulting from artificial selection during domestication and breeding. BREVIS RADIX ( BRX ) has been suggested to control root elongation, shoot growth, and tiller angle in ...

Silicon Alters Leaf Surface Morphology and Suppresses Insect Herbivory in a Model Grass Species
Plants, 2020 Grasses accumulate large amounts of silicon (Si) which is deposited in trichomes, specialised silica cells and cell walls. This may increase leaf toughness and reduce cell rupture, palatability and digestion.

Leaf morphology, optical characteristics and phytochemical traits of butterhead lettuce affected by increasing the far-red photon flux [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Light and its spectral characteristics are crucial for plant growth and development. The far-red photon flux mediates many plant processes through the action of phytochrome and also accelerates the photosynthetic electron transfer rate. In this study, we

Current Advances in Molecular Basis and Mechanisms Regulating Leaf Morphology in Rice. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2018 Yield is majorly affected by photosynthetic efficiency. Leaves are essential structure for photosynthesis and their morphology especially size and shape in a plant canopy can affect the rate of transpiration, carbon fixation and photosynthesis.

Overexpression of LtKNOX1 from Lilium tsingtauense in Nicotiana benthamiana affects the development of leaf morphology [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Leaves are the main vegetative organs of the aboveground part of plants and play an important role in plant morphogenesis. KNOTTED-LIKE HOMEOBOX (KNOX) plays a crucial role in regulating leaf cell fate and maintaining leaf development.
