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 ...

Allometric Individual Leaf Area Estimation in Chrysanthemum
Agronomy, 2021 A model for estimating the area of individual leaves (LA) by employing their dimensions was developed for chrysanthemum. Further hypotheses were tested: (a) LA estimation is improved by considering blade length (Lb) rather than leaf length (L), and (b) a

Leaf size estimation based on leaf length, width and shape [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2021 AbstractBackground and AimsLeaf size has considerable ecological relevance, making it desirable to obtain leaf size estimations for as many species worldwide as possible. Current global databases, such as TRY, contain leaf size data for ~30 000 species, which is only ~8% of known species worldwide.

ATAC‐seq exposes differences in chromatin accessibility leading to distinct leaf shapes in mulberry
Plant Direct, 2022 Mulberry leaf shape is an important agronomic trait indicating yield, growth, development, and habitat variation. China was the earliest country in the world to grow mulberry for sericulture, and it is also one of the great contributions of the Chinese ...

Geometric and topological approaches to shape variation in
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Leaf shape is a key plant trait that varies enormously. The range of applications for data on this trait requires frequent methodological development so that researchers have an up-to-date toolkit with which to quantify leaf shape. We generated a dataset

Patterns of leaf morphological variation in Quercus frainetto Ten. growing on different soil types in Serbia [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2022 Leaf morphology is at a certain level defined by the ways in which plants adapt to different habitats, especially in large trees. In this study, morphological variations in leaf size and shape of the Hungarian oak (Quercus frainetto Ten.) growing on ...
