Unexpected Responses of Bean Leaf Size to Elevated CO2 [PDF]
Plants, 2022 CO2 is currently a growth-limiting resource for plants with C3 metabolism, and elevated CO2 also often reduces stomatal conductance, reducing plant water stress.

Strong increase of photosynthetic pigments and leaf size in a pruned Ginkgo biloba tree [PDF]
Photosynthetica, 2023 A 50-year-old solitary, sun-exposed ginkgo tree had strongly been pruned in the fall of 2021. Very few buds for the formation of new leaves, twigs, and branches were left over.

Leaf Venation Architecture in Relation to Leaf Size Across Leaf Habits and Vein Types in Subtropical Woody Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Leaves are enormously diverse in their size and venation architecture, both of which are core determinants of plant adaptation to environments. Leaf size is an important determinant of leaf function and ecological strategy, while leaf venation, the main ...

Leaf size variations in a dominant desert shrub, Reaumuria soongarica, adapted to heterogeneous environments [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The climate in arid Central Asia (ACA) has changed rapidly in recent decades, but the ecological consequences of this are far from clear. To predict the impacts of climate change on ecosystem functioning, greater attention should be given to the ...

Identification of candidate genes for leaf size by QTL mapping and transcriptome sequencing in Brassica napus L [PDF]
BMC GenomicsLeaf is the main photosynthetic organ at the seedling stage of rapeseed and leaf size is a crucial agronomic trait affecting rapeseed yield. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying leaf size is therefore important for rapeseed breeding.
