Comparing shade tolerance measures of woody forest species [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Shade tolerance, the minimum light requirement for plant survival, is a key trait for understanding community assembly and forest dynamics. However, it is poorly defined for tree species to date.

Understanding the Shade Tolerance Responses Through Hints From Phytochrome A-Mediated Negative Feedback Regulation in Shade Avoiding Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Based on how plants respond to shade, we typically classify them into two groups: shade avoiding and shade tolerance plants. Under vegetative shade, the shade avoiding species induce a series of shade avoidance responses (SARs) to outgrow their ...

An appraisal of the classic forest succession paradigm with the shade tolerance index. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In this paper we revisit the classic theory of forest succession that relates shade tolerance and species replacement and assess its validity to understand patch-mosaic patterns of forested ecosystems of the USA.

Associations between shade tolerance and wood specific gravity for conifers in contrast to angiosperm trees: Foundations of the conifer fitness‐enhancing shade tolerance hypothesis [PDF]
Plant-Environment InteractionsFor decades, researchers have held that wood specific gravity was an indicator or surrogate for both shade tolerance and successional status. However, recent research in dry tropical forests has shown very different associations regarding wood specific ...

Transcriptome analysis and mining of genes related to shade tolerance in foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 A stereo interplanting system with foxtail millet beneath chestnut trees is an effective planting method to raise the utilization of land in chestnut orchards, increase yields and improve quality of chestnut nuts.

Transcriptome analysis of shade avoidance and shade tolerance in conifers [PDF]
Planta, 2019 Main conclusion: Gymnosperms respond differently to light intensity and R:FR; although some aspects of shade response appear conserved, yet underlying mechanisms seem to be diverse in gymnosperms as compared to angiosperms. Shade avoidance syndrome (SAS)

Agronomic evaluation of shade tolerance of 16 spring Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz genotypes under different artificial shade levels using a modified membership function [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is currently gaining considerable attention as a potential oilseed feedstock for biofuel, oil and feed source, and bioproducts. Studies have shown the potential of using camelina in an intercropping system. However,

Do Tree Size and Tree Shade Tolerance Affect the Photosynthetic Capacity of Broad-Leaved Tree Species? [PDF]
Plants, 2023 (1) Background: leaf structure traits are closely related to leaf photosynthesis, reflecting the ability of trees to obtain external resources in the process of growth.

Identification of candidate genes and development of KASP markers for soybean shade-tolerance using GWAS [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceShade has a direct impact on photosynthesis and production of plants. Exposure to shade significantly reduces crops yields. Identifying shade-tolerant genomic loci and soybean varieties is crucial for improving soybean yields. In this study, we applied a

Tree recruitment is determined by stand structure and shade tolerance with uncertain role of climate and water relations [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Tree regeneration is a key process for long‐term forest dynamics, determining changes in species composition and shaping successional trajectories. While tree regeneration is a highly stochastic process, tree regeneration studies often cover narrow ...
