Extraction and discrimination of tobacco leaf shape based on landmark method
The shape information of leaves from 39 tobacco varieties was extracted by using landmark method. The differences in leaf shapes were compared and analyzed among different varieties and different leaf positions at different growth stages.

ANOTHER APPROACH TO LEAF SHAPE COMPARISONS [PDF]
SummaryMethods for shape comparisons among groups originally developed in zoological studies are found to be useful in examining variation in leaf shape. These methods (sampling outlines by means of truss networks connecting landmarks or pseudolandmarks, and sheared principal components analysis) take advantage of electronic methods of data capture and

Leaf Shapes and Venation Patterns [PDF]
Plant life is fuelled by solar radiation through photosynthesis, by processes in which leaves act as power generators, main factories, and dispensers of organic substances. Leaves store energy in organic compounds (mainly carbohydrates) that are redistributed within the plant system, thus keeping all metabolic and transport processes active and ...

Comprehensive Methods for Leaf Geometric Morphometric Analyses
Leaf morphometrics are used frequently by several disciplines, including taxonomists, systematists, developmental biologists, morphologists, agronomists, and plant breeders to name just a few. Leaf shape is highly variable and can be used for identifying
