Regression models for estimating leaf area of seedlings and adult individuals of Neotropical rainforest tree species

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Individual leaf area (LA) is a key variable in studies of tree ecophysiology because it directly influences light interception, photosynthesis and evapotranspiration of adult trees and seedlings. We analyzed the leaf dimensions (length – L and width – W)

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.

Flag leaf size.

open access: yes, 2023
Increasing frequency of drought spells occasioned by changing climatic conditions, coupled with rise in demand for bread wheat, calls for the development of high yielding drought resilient genotypes to enhance bread wheat production in areas with ...

Species Delimitation of Asteropyrum (Ranunculaceae) Based on Morphological, Molecular, and Ecological Variation

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Objectively evaluating different lines of evidence within a formalized framework is the most efficient and theoretically grounded approach for defining robust species hypotheses. Asteropyrum Drumm. et Hutch.

Inter-incompatibility of self- incompatible apricots and their varietal properties

open access: yesInternational Journal of Horticultural Science, 1999
There are four apricot varieties grown in Hungary derived from local selections known to bear fruits of giant (60 - 100 g) size: Ceglédi óriás, Nagykőrösi óriás, Szegedi mammut and Ligeti óriás.

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 variation in ...

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 ...

Photoperiod-H1 (Ppd-H1) controls leaf size in barley [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Leaf size is a major determinant of plant photosynthetic activity and biomass, however, it is poorly understood how leaf size is genetically controlled in cereal crop plants like barley (Hordeum vulgare).

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.
