Leaf Venation Architecture in Relation to Leaf Size Across Leaf Habits and Vein Types in Subtropical Woody Plants

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 ...

Is leaf fluctuating asymmetry related to plant and leaf size in Miconia albicans, a common Melastomataceae species? [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2022
Fluctuating asymmetry, defined as random differences between the two sides of a symmetrical structure, has been often related to development stress in both plants and animals.

Fine Mapping of a Vigor QTL in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Reveals a Potential Role for Ca4_TIFY4B in Regulating Leaf and Seed Size

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plant vigor is a complex trait for which the underlying molecular control mechanisms remain unclear. Vigorous plants tend to derive from larger seeds and have greater early canopy cover, often with bigger leaves. In this study, we delimited the size of a

Effects of Volume Ratio, Layout and Leave Size of Indoor Plants on Workers’ Attention Recovery in Factory Staff Break Area

Buildings, 2023
A more efficient attention recovery of workers during their break time is essential for achieving higher productivity and wellness. In recent years, the biophilic design that introduces indoor plants has become one of the solutions to these problems ...

Comprehensive leaf size traits dataset for seven plant species from digitised herbarium specimen images covering more than two centuries [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021
Morphological leaf traits are frequently used to quantify, understand and predict plant and vegetation functional diversity and ecology, including environmental and climate change responses.

Unexpected Responses of Bean Leaf Size to Elevated CO₂

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

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.

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 ...

Leaf Area Estimation by Photographing Leaves Sandwiched between Transparent Clear File Folder Sheets

Horticulturae, 2023
Image analysis is a promising method for in situ leaf area measurement. However, as leaves are three-dimensional, the use of two-dimensional images captured using a digital camera can result in underestimation. To overcome this problem, we tested a clear

Genome-wide characterization of AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE family in Medicago truncatula reveals the significant roles of AINTEGUMENTAs in leaf growth

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE (AIL) transcription factors are widely studied and play crucial roles in plant growth and development. However, the functions of the AIL family in legume species are largely unknown.
