Leaf size versus leaf numbertrade-offs in dioecious angiosperms [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Ecology, 2012
Aims We explore the possible role of leaf size/number trade-offs for the interpretation of leaf size dimorphism in dioecious plant species. Methods Total above-ground biomass (both male and female) for three herbaceous dioecious species and individual shoots (from both male and female plants) for three woody dioecious species were sampled to record ...

A Cucumber AGAMOUS-LIKE 15 (AGL15) MADS-Box Gene Mediates Abnormal Leaf Morphology in Arabidopsis

open access: yesAgronomy, 2018
The AGL15 subfamily MADS-box proteins play vital roles in various developmental processes, such as floral transition, somatic embryogenesis, and leaf and fruit development.

Floristic composition, biological spectrum, and phytogeographic distribution of the Bin Dara Dir, in the western boundary of Pakistan

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
This study assessed the floristic composition, biological spectrum, and phytogeographical elements of the Bin Dara western boundary of Pakistan. The flora consisted of 140 plant species belonging to 47 families. The most dominant family was Poaceae (with

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Functional Identification of EjGIF1 in Arabidopsis and Preliminary Analysis of Its Regulatory Mechanisms in the Formation of Triploid Loquat Leaf Heterosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Although several results have been obtained in triploid loquat heterosis (i.e., leaf size of triploid loquat) studies in the past years, the underlying mechanisms of the heterosis are still largely unknown, especially the regulation effects of one ...

Genome-wide identification of growth-regulating factor transcription factor family related to leaf and stem development in alfalfa

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Growth-regulating factors (GRFs) play crucial roles in plant growth and stress response. To date, there have been no reports of the analysis and identification of the GRF transcription factor family in alfalfa.

The scaling of leaf area and mass: the cost of light interception increases with leaf size [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007
For leaves, the light-capturing surface area per unit dry mass investment (specific leaf area, SLA) is a key trait from physiological, ecological and biophysical perspectives. To address whether SLA declines with leaf size, as hypothesized due to increasing costs of support in larger leaves, we compiled data on intraspecific ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The “Leafing Intensity Premium” Hypothesis and the Scaling Relationships of the Functional Traits of Bamboo Species

open access: yesPlants
The “leafing intensity premium” hypothesis proposes that leaf size results from natural selection acting on different leafing intensities, i.e., the number of leaves per unit shoot volume or mass.

The growth of sun and shade leaves of Populus euramericana "robusta" in relation to age, light intensity and temperature [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
The growth and development of sun and shade leaves was investigated in Populus euramericana 'Robusta', growing under various light intensities and temperatures and on a substrate optimal for the roots.Strong correlations exist between the dimensions of ...
