The genus Quercus is known for the occurrence of frequent hybridization events between species. Although this phenomenon is not common among holm oak (Q. ilex) and cork oak (Q. suber), these species can hybridize when they coexist in mixed stands.

Light-induced indeterminacy alters shade avoiding tomato leaf morphology [PDF]
Plants sense foliar shade of competitors and alter their developmental programs through the shade avoidance response. Internode and petiole elongation, and changes in overall leaf area and leaf mass per area, are the stereotypical architectural responses

Environmental effect on the leaf morphology and anatomy of Berberis microphylla G. Forst
Berberis microphylla G. Forst is a fruit shrub native from Patagonia, considered as a non-timber forest product. In recent years, there has been an increased demand for its fruits, both for fresh and industrialized consumption, being the establishment of

Efficient agricultural drip irrigation inspired by fig leaf morphology. [PDF]
AbstractIrrigation is limited by water scarcity. Here, we show how a drip irrigation system inspired by the leaf of the fig tree Ficus religiosa (also known as the bodhi tree) can improve irrigation efficiency. The reverse curvature of the leaf regulates the convergence process of multiple water streams, while its long-tail apex allows for fast water ...

Drought-Induced Changes in Leaf Morphology and Anatomy: Overview, Implications and Perspectives
The global climate change scenario intensified various environmental factors, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Drought is one of the most severe environmental stresses affecting plant productivity.

Leaf morphology can affect the development and yield of plants by regulating plant architecture and photosynthesis. Several factors can determine the final leaf morphology, including the leaf complexity, size, shape, and margin type, which suggests that ...

Warming Responses of Leaf Morphology Are Highly Variable among Tropical Tree Species
Leaf morphological traits vary along climate gradients, but it is currently unclear to what extent this results from acclimation rather than adaptation.

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 ...

Leaf morphology shift linked to climate change [PDF]
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 ...
