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 ...

A computer vision approach for quantifying leaf shape of maize (Zea mays L.) and simulating its impact on light interception [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe precise determination of leaf shape is crucial for the quantification of morphological variations between individual leaf ranks and cultivars and simulating their impact on light interception in functional-structural plant models (FSPMs).

Why More Leaflets? The Role of Natural Selection in Shaping the Spatial Pattern of Leaf-Shape Variation in Oxytropis diversifolia (Fabaceae) and Two Close Relatives [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Leaf shape exhibits tremendous diversity in angiosperms. It has long been argued that leaf shape can affect major physiological and ecological properties of plants and thus is likely to be adaptive, but the evolutionary evidence is still scarce ...

Leaf shape in Populus tremula is a complex, omnigenic trait [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Leaf shape is a defining feature of how we recognize and classify plant species. Although there is extensive variation in leaf shape within many species, few studies have disentangled the underlying genetic architecture.

Divergent leaf shapes among Passiflora species arise from a shared juvenile morphology
Plant Direct, 2017 Not only does leaf shape vary between Passiflora species, but between sequential nodes of the vine. The profound changes in leaf shape within Passiflora vines reflect the temporal development of the shoot apical meristem from which leaves are derived and

Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci for Altitude Adaptation of Tree Leaf Shape With Populus szechuanica in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 As an important functional organ of plants, leaves alter their shapes in response to a changing environment. The variation of leaf shape has long been an important evolutionary and developmental force in plants.

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.
