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.

Large-scale evaluation of soybean germplasm reveals geographic patterns in shade tolerance and identifies elite genotypes for intercropping systems [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyShade tolerance is crucial for developing soybean varieties that are well-suited for intercropping systems. This study evaluated 460 soybean accessions from a global germplasm collection at two contrasting locations in China: Heilongjiang (HLJ) and Inner

Shade effect on growth, yield, and shade tolerance of three peanut cultivars [PDF]
Jurnal Agro, 2020 Peanut, which is commonly planted in interculture and intercropping system, often suffers from shading caused by associated plants. This experiment aimed to study the effect of different shade levels of three peanut cultivars on the growth and seed yield,

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 ...

Traits controlling shade tolerance in tropical montane trees. [PDF]
Tree Physiol, 2020 Abstract Tropical canopies are complex, with multiple canopy layers and pronounced gap dynamics contributing to their high species diversity and productivity. An important reason for this complexity is the large variation in shade tolerance among different tree species.

Shade tolerance in wheat is related to photosynthetic limitation and morphological and physiological acclimations [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceLow solar irradiance reaching the canopy due to fog and heavy haze is a significant yield-limiting factor worldwide. However, how plants adapt to shade stress and the mechanisms underlying the reduction in leaf photosynthetic capacity and grain yield ...

Shade tolerance of marigold plants (Calendula officinalis)
Revista U.D.C.A Actualidad & Divulgación Científica, 2015 Pot marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) is the second most commonly-sold medicinal herb in Colombia. The study was performed in Tunja, Colombia, in which chlorophyll and carotenoid content were evaluated in pot marigold grown under low and high light ...

Berry shade tolerance for agrivoltaics systems: A meta-analysis
Scientia HorticulturaeAgrivoltaics, i.e. the placement of photovoltaic panels above crops, can contribute to more sustainable energy and food systems. However, the current large knowledge gap on crop yield response to shade is a limiting factor to agrivoltaics development. Berries have been identified as a shade benefitting crop group with a high potential for agrivoltaics,

Foxp3: Shades of Tolerance [PDF]
Immunity, 2012 In this issue of Immunity, Darce et al. (2012) and Bettini et al. (2012) demonstrate that seemingly subtle alterations in the interaction of Foxp3 with its transcriptional partners have a ripple effect on the outcome of autoimmune phenotypes, worsening some while ameliorating others.

Transcriptome analysis of shade avoidance and shade tolerance in conifers [PDF]
Planta, 2019 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) is well-characterized in the shade intolerant model species Arabidopsis thaliana whereas much less is known about ...
