Does shade improve light interception efficiency? A comparison among seedlings from shade-tolerant and -intolerant temperate deciduous tree species [PDF]
, 2006 • Here, we tested two hypotheses: shading increases light interception efficiency (LIE) of broadleaved tree seedlings, and shade-tolerant species exhibit larger LIEs than do shade-intolerant ones.

Springtime leaf development of mature sessile oak trees as based on multi-seasonal monitoring data. [PDF]
, 2012 Based on a four year leaf growth data-set we modelled the thermal time-dependent leafontogeny in upper and lower canopy layers of mature sessile oak trees, in a Quercetum petraeae-cerrisforest stand (NE Hungary).

Stress Responses of Shade-Treated Tea Leaves to High Light Exposure after Removal of Shading
Plants, 2020 High-quality green tea is produced from buds and young leaves grown by the covering-culture method, which employs shading treatment for tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.). Shading treatment improves the quality of tea, but shaded tea plants undergo sudden exposures to high light (HL) at the end of the treatment by shade removal.

The Functional Significance of Black-Pigmented Leaves: Photosynthesis, Photoprotection and Productivity in Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’ [PDF]
, 2013 Black pigmented leaves are common among horticultural cultivars, yet are extremely rare across natural plant populations. We hypothesised that black pigmentation would disadvantage a plant by reducing photosynthesis and therefore shoot productivity, but ...

Shade acclimation of rainforest leaves to colonization by lichens [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2002 Summary Lichens that live epiphytically on leaves (foliicolous lichens) are one of the most abundant groups of epiphytes in tropical rainforests, with lichen cover on individual leaves often exceeding 50%. In this study we quantified the shading of host leaves by foliicolous lichens, and investigated the capacity of palm leaves growing under ...

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2022 ABSTRACT Shade cultivation of tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) is employed for the production of high-quality green tea which increases the content of chlorophylls and free amino acids, including theanine. However, shaded tea plants suffer from photooxidative stress caused by sudden exposure to high light (HL) when the shade is removed.

Auxin-mediated plant architectural changes in response to shade and high temperature. [PDF]
, 2013 The remarkable plasticity of their architecture allows plants to adjust growth to the environment and to overcome adverse conditions. Two examples of environmental stresses that drastically affect shoot development are imminent shade and high temperature.

Water Is Allocated Differently to Chloroplasts in Sun and Shade Leaves [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1988 Hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to study water allocation in cell compartments of sun and shade leaves. NMR spectra of Acer platanoides were resolved into two peaks that were assigned to chloroplast and nonchloroplast water.

Identification of a Disease on Cocoa Caused by Fusariumin Sulawesi [PDF]
, 2013 A disease presumed to be caused by Fusarium was observed in cocoa open fields with few or without shade trees. Within the population of cocoa trees in the field, some trees had died, some had yellowing leaves and dieback, and the others were apparently ...

UV-A induced fluorescence images in sun and shade leaves [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2005 Background At their natural environment plants are exposed to high fluxes of photosynthetically active and UV radiation. The increased synthesis of UV-absorbing compounds, such as flavonoids and other polyphenols, are accepted as a plant response to increased UV radiation.
