Competition models for plant stems [PDF]
Journal of Differential Equations, 2020 The models introduced in this paper describe a uniform distribution of plant stems competing for sunlight. The shape of each stem, and the density of leaves, are designed in order to maximize the captured sunlight, subject to a cost for transporting water and nutrients from the root to all the leaves.

Oscillation frequencies of tapered plant stems [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2002 Free oscillations of upright plant stems, or in technical terms, slender tapered rods with one end free, can be described by considering the equilibrium between bending moments in the form of a differential equation with appropriate boundary conditions.

Measuring the compressive modulus of elasticity of pith-filled plant stems. [PDF]
Plant Methods, 2017 The compressional modulus of elasticity is an important mechanical property for understanding stalk lodging, but this property is rarely available for thin-walled plant stems such as maize and sorghum because excised tissue samples from these plants are ...

Sparse dynamic tomography: a shearlet-based approach for iodine perfusion in plant stems [PDF]
Inverse Problems, 2020 In this paper we propose a motion-aware variational approach to reconstruct moving objects from sparse dynamic data. The motivation of this work stems from x-ray imaging of plants perfused with a liquid contrast agent, aimed at increasing the contrast of

Correlation of microbiomes in “plant-insect-soil” ecosystem
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionTraditional chemical control methods pose a damaging effect on farmland ecology, and their long-term use has led to the development of pest resistance.MethodsHere, we analyzed the correlations and differences in the microbiome present in the ...

Utilization of Calathea Lutea Stem as Part Material [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Calathea Lutea is a plant that is often found in Indonesia. Calathea Lutea is usually only used as an exterior plant because it has a wide leaf shape and a strong stem structure. If further investigated, the strength of the stem structure of the Calathea
