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.

Leaf hydraulics coordinated with leaf economics and leaf size in mangrove species along a salinity gradient [PDF]
Plant Diversity, 2023 Independence among leaf economics, leaf hydraulics and leaf size confers plants great capability in adapting to heterogeneous environments. However, it remains unclear whether the independence of the leaf traits revealed across species still holds within species, especially under stressed conditions.

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 ...

Application of leaf size and leafing intensity scaling across subtropical trees [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 AbstractUnderstanding the scaling between leaf size and leafing intensity (leaf number per stem size) is crucial for comprehending theories about the leaf costs and benefits in the leaf size–twig size spectrum. However, the scaling scope of leaf size versus leafing intensity changes along the twig leaf size variation in different leaf habit species ...

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.

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.

Genetic regulators of leaf size in Brassica crops. [PDF]
Hortic Res, 2021 AbstractLeaf size influences plant development and biomass and is also an important agricultural trait in Brassica crops, in which leaves are the main organ produced for consumption. Leaf size is determined by the coordinated regulation of cell proliferation and cell expansion during leaf development, and these processes are strictly controlled by ...

Leaf size in mosses is structurally constrained by cell dimensions and genome size. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Leaf anatomy is a key factor determining plant ecology. Cell size and number are related to leaf size in tracheophytes, but this has been poorly studied in bryophytes, which never reach large leaf sizes. In this study, we aimed to study the main anatomical factors determining leaf size in mosses, and how this is related to their ecology.
