Comparison of Leaf Shape between a Photinia Hybrid and One of Its Parents [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Leaf shape and size can vary between hybrids and their parents. However, this has seldom been quantitatively tested. Photinia × fraseri is an important landscaping plant in East Asia as a hybrid between evergreen shrubs P. glabra and P. serratifolia. Its

Procrustean pseudo‐landmark methods in Python to measure massive quantities of leaf shape data [PDF]
Applications in Plant SciencesPremise When examining leaf shapes that are different from one another, it can be difficult to compare both the overall leaf shape and points along the leaf margin in biologically and statistically meaningful ways.

Multivariate genome-wide association study of leaf shape in a Populus deltoides and P. simonii F1 pedigree. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Leaf morphology exhibits tremendous diversity between and within species, and is likely related to adaptation to environmental factors. Most poplar species are of great economic and ecological values and their leaf morphology can be a good predictor for ...

Functional Dissection of Auxin Response Factors in Regulating Tomato Leaf Shape Development [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The phytohormone auxin is involved in many aspects of plant growth and developmental processes. The tomato Aux/IAA transcription factor SlIAA9/ENTIRE/E plays an important role in leaf morphogenesis and fruit development, and the E gene encodes a protein ...

Overview of molecular mechanisms of plant leaf development: a systematic review
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Leaf growth initiates in the peripheral region of the meristem at the apex of the stem, eventually forming flat structures. Leaves are pivotal organs in plants, serving as the primary sites for photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Heterophylly, the existence of different leaf shapes and sizes on the same plant, has been observed in many flowering plant species. Yet, the genetic characteristics and genetic basis of heterophylly in soybean remain unknown.

The shape of a long leaf [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 Long leaves in terrestrial plants and their submarine counterparts, algal blades, have a typical, saddle-like midsurface and rippled edges. To understand the origin of these morphologies, we dissect leaves and differentially stretch foam ribbons to show that these shapes arise from a simple cause, the elastic relaxation via bending that follows either ...
