La planta ideal de yuca para obtener rendimientos máximos [PDF]
, 2016 A series of trials were carried out using cassava. Crop growth rate increased with leaf area up to LAI 4; root growth rate increased up to LAI 3-3.5, then declined. LAI is determined by leaf size, leaf formation rate and individual leaf life.

Growth response to temperature of two maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids with differing levels of cold tolerance : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Plant Science (Seed Technology), Massey University [PDF]
, 1993 Low temperatures are a hazard to maize production especially in high altitude and high latitude areas (Eagles, 1979; Hardacre and Eagles, 1986) where it may cause substantial yield reductions through its accumulated effect on vegetative and reprodutive ...

Reducing size to increase number: a hypothesis for compound leaves
Ideas in Ecology and Evolution, 2012 Adaptive advantages of the compound leaf form in flowering plants have so far remained elusive. A novel idea—proposed here—is that there are no direct advantages; the compound leaf evolved instead as a trade-off of selection in favour of something else:
