The effect of multi-leaf collimator leaf width on VMAT treatment plan quality. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstractBackgroundThe advent of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in radiotherapy has made it one of the most commonly used techniques in clinical practice. VMAT is the delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) while the gantry is in motion, and existing literature has shown it has decreased treatment delivery times and the number ...

Half-leaf width symmetric distribution reveals buffering strategy of Cunninghamia lanceolata. [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2021 AbstractBackgroundLeaf length and width could be a functioning relationship naturally as plant designs. Single-vein leaves have the simplest symmetrical distribution and structural design, which means that fast-growing single-vein species could interpret the scheme more efficiently.

Genetic basis of sorghum leaf width and its potential as a surrogate for transpiration efficiency. [PDF]
Theor Appl Genet, 2022 Abstract Key message Leaf width was correlated with plant-level transpiration efficiency and associated with 19 QTL in sorghum, suggesting it could be a surrogate for transpiration efficiency in large breeding program. Abstract Enhancing plant transpiration efficiency (TE ...

Scaling the leaf length-times-width equation to predict total leaf area of shoots
Annals of Botany, 2022 AbstractBackground and AimsAn individual plant consists of different-sized shoots, each of which consists of different-sized leaves. To predict plant-level physiological responses from the responses of individual leaves, modelling this within-shoot leaf size variation is necessary.

Evolutionary divergence of leaf width and its correlates [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2015 • Premise of the study: The question why leaf dimensions vary so much between species has long puzzled ecologists. Presumably, variation arises from selective forces acting on leaf function but which selective forces and which leaf functions? This investigation assesses the consistency of divergence in plant traits and habitat variables in association ...

Genetic mapping of QTL for maize leaf width combining RIL and IF2 populations. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 Leaf width is an important component of plant architecture that affects light capture during photosynthesis and wind circulation under dense planting conditions. To improve understanding of the genetic mechanisms involved in leaf width at different positions, a comprehensive evaluation using the RIL (Recombinant Inbred Line) and IF2 (Immortalized F2 ...

The APC/CTAD1-WIDE LEAF 1-NARROW LEAF 1 pathway controls leaf width in rice
The Plant Cell, 2022 Abstract Leaf morphology is one of the most important features of the ideal plant architecture. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms controlling this feature in crops remain largely unknown. Here, we characterized the rice (Oryza sativa) wide leaf 1 (wl1) mutant, which has wider leaves than the wild-type due to more vascular ...

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis of leaf related traits in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is an important leafy vegetable crop, and leaf-related traits including leaf length, leaf width, and petiole length, are important commercial traits. However, the underlying genes remain unclear. The objective of

Technology in Agronomy, 2023 Banana is an excellent companion crop cultivated with coconut, areca nut, coffee, or cacao. The yield performance of bananas however differs due to cultivar response to light, water, and nutrient availability in the intercropping system.
