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 ...

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.

The Effects of Water Stress on Cotton Leaf Area and Leaf Morphology
Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi Tarım ve Doğa Dergisi, 2023 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
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.

Regulation of Leaf Morphology by MicroRNA394 and its Target LEAF CURLING RESPONSIVENESS [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2012 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 Removal Affects Maize Morphology and Grain Yield [PDF]
Agronomy, 2020 Increasing planting density is an important practice associated with increases in maize yield, but densely planted maize can suffer from poor light conditions. In our two-year field experiments, two morphologically different cultivars, ZD958 (less compact) and DH618 (more compact), were planted at 120,000 plants ha−1 and 135,000 plants ha−1 ...

Short-term growth and biomechanical responses of the temperate seagrass Cymodocea nodosa to CO2 enrichment [PDF]
, 2017 Seagrasses are often regarded as climate change 'winners' because they exhibit higher rates of photosynthesis, carbon fixation and growth when exposed to increasing levels of ocean acidification.
