Plant Morphology Impacts Bedload Sediment Transport

Geophysical Research Letters
Bedload sediment transport plays an important role in the evolution of rivers, marshes and deltas. In these aquatic environments, vegetation is widespread, and plant species have unique morphology. However, the impact of real plant morphology on flow and

Characterization of the Effect of Increased Plant Density on Canopy Morphology and Stalk Lodging Risk

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plants react to the environment and to management interventions by undergoing architectural and structural modifications. A field trial was conducted in China in 2016 to study the effects of the plant population on morphological development of the maize ...

Far-red light: A regulator of plant morphology and photosynthetic capacity

Crop Journal, 2021
Plant photosynthetic capacity directly determines crop yield. Light quality regulates photosynthetic capacity. This review discusses plant responses to far-red light from the phenotypic to the molecular level, focusing specifically on the improvement of ...

Foliar Application of Sulfur-Containing Compounds—Pros and Cons

Plants, 2023
Sulfate is taken up from the soil solution by the root system; and inside the plant, it is assimilated to hydrogen sulfide, which in turn is converted to cysteine.

Floret Biofortification of Broccoli Using Amino Acids Coupled with Selenium under Different Surfactants: A Case Study of Cultivating Functional Foods

Plants, 2023
Broccoli serves as a functional food because it can accumulate selenium (Se), well-known bioactive amino-acid-derived secondary metabolites, and polyphenols.

The Optical Properties of Leaf Structural Elements and Their Contribution to Photosynthetic Performance and Photoprotection

Plants, 2021
Leaves have evolved to effectively harvest light, and, in parallel, to balance photosynthetic CO2 assimilation with water losses. At times, leaves must operate under light limiting conditions while at other instances (temporally distant or even within ...

Extrafloral nectaries of an Atlantic Forest conservation area in Southeastern Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022
Although extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are reported as extremely important to understand ecological interactions, the diversity of EFN-bearing plants remains underappreciated.

Potential Effect of Biochar on Soil Properties, Microbial Activity and Vicia faba Properties Affected by Microplastics Contamination

Agronomy, 2023
Microplastics (MPs) contamination is an emerging issue globally; however, adverse impacts of MPs on soil, plants and microbial activity have not been intensively studied.

EvoDevo: Past and Future of Continuum and Process Plant Morphology

Philosophies, 2020
Plants and animals are both important for studies in evolutionary developmental biology (EvoDevo). Plant morphology as a valuable discipline of EvoDevo is set for a paradigm shift.

Plant height shapes hydraulic architecture but does not predict metaxylem area under drought in Sorghum bicolor

Plant Direct, 2023
Climate change‐induced variations in temperature and precipitation negatively impact plant growth and development. To ensure future food quality and availability, a critical need exists to identify morphological and physiological responses that confer ...
