Pathways of Photosynthesis in Non-Leaf Tissues
Biology, 2020 Plants have leaves as specialised organs that capture light energy by photosynthesis. However, photosynthesis is also found in other plant organs. Photosynthesis may be found in the petiole, stems, flowers, fruits, and seeds.

The Structure of Petioles in Pteris (Pteridaceae)
American Fern Journal, 2012 Abstract We studied the petiole structure of twelve American species of Pteris: P. ciliaris, P. cretica, P. deflexa, P. denticulata, P. ensiformis, P. exigua, P. inermis, P. multifida, P. mutilata, P. quadriaurita, P. tristicula and P. vittata, using both light and scanning electron microscopy. We found that petioles are characterized externally by the

The optimized shape of a leaf petiole [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, Vol 87, 2006 A plant leaf is generally composed of a petiole and a leaf blade. The petiole connects the leaf blade to the plant stem and, from a structural viewpoint, it resembles a cantilever beam. Petiole design is driven by the minimum use of material to withstand a combined torsion and bending load.

Structural and torsional properties of the Trachycarpus fortunei palm petiole [PDF]
, 2006 The Trachycarpus fortunei palm is a good example of a palm with a large leaf blade supported by a correspondingly large petiole. The way in which the material and functional properties of the petiole interact is analysed using engineering and botanical ...

Holocene vegetation change and fire–plant diversity shifts in Mediterranean France
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Changes in fire activity are recognized as a major threat to biodiversity and vegetation communities across the Mediterranean Basin. However, long‐term fire–vegetation interactions remain poorly investigated. Here, we combine a high‐resolution charcoal record with pollen data from the “Étang des Aulnes” lake (southern France) to reconstruct ...
