Genotypic and Phenotypic Correlations between Leaf-Rust Disease and Leaf Morphology and its Ratio in Arabica Coffee [PDF]
Selection parameter in coffee breeding for leaf rust (Hemeleia vastatrix) resistance is very important. Breeders used leaf-rust severity and leaf-rust incidence as parameters of direct selection.

Regulation of Leaf Morphology by MicroRNA394 and its Target LEAF CURLING RESPONSIVENESS [PDF]
The present study identified Arabidopsis miR394 and its target, an F-box (SKP1-Cullin/CDC53-F-box) gene At1g27340 (here referred to as LEAF CURLING RESPONSIVENESS, LCR), for regulation of leaf curling-related morphology. The loss-of-function lcr mutants exhibit pleiotropic defects with semi-dwarfism, altered leaf shape and a shorter stem ...

Leaf morphology shift is not linked to climate change [PDF]
In a recent study, Guerin et al . [[1][1]] (Guerin, Wen and Lowe, hereafter GWL) used leaf width measurements from herbarium specimens of Dodonaea viscosa subsp. angustissima collected in South Australia to document two patterns. First, mean leaf width declined with increasing latitude.

Differences in Leaf Morphology and Related Gene Expression between Diploid and Tetraploid Birch (Betula pendula). [PDF]
Plant polyploidization changes its leaf morphology and leaf development patterns. Understanding changes in leaf morphology and development patterns is a prerequisite and key to studying leaf development in polyploid plants.

Impact of colchicine on leaf morphology and stomatics of Kalanchoe tubiflora (Harv.) Raym.- Hamet (Crassulaceae) [PDF]
The demand of medicinal plants for consumption is greatly increasing worldwide. The conventional breeding programs are generally dependent on the environment prone to biotic and abiotic stresses. These added to the low content of secondary metabolites at

The Effects of Water Stress on Cotton Leaf Area and Leaf Morphology
The most important effect of water stress on plants is that it reduces leaf area and leads to changes in leaf morphology. Decreased leaf area results in reduces crop yield through the reduction in photosynthesis. This study investigates the effects of the decrease in leaf area on seed cotton yield, evapotranspiration (ET), water use efficiency (WUE ...

Silicon Alters Leaf Surface Morphology and Suppresses Insect Herbivory in a Model Grass Species
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.
