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.

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 ...

Non-Destructive Estimation of the Leaf Weight and Leaf Area in Common Bean
Regression models to predict leaf area and leaf weight in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) were fitted using the three leaflets of the leaves. A total of 1504 leaves from 40 genotypes were collected, covering a large range of leaf sizes.

Evolution of Reproductive Morphology in Leaf Endophytes
The endophytic lifestyle has played an important role in the evolution of the morphology of reproductive structures (body) in one of the most problematic groups in fungal classification, the Leotiomycetes (Ascomycota). Mapping fungal morphologies to two groups in the Leiotiomycetes, the Rhytismatales and Hemiphacidiaceae reveals significant divergence ...
