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 ...

Molecular mechanisms of shade tolerance in plants
New Phytologist, 2023 SummaryShade tolerance is an ecological concept used in a wide range of disciplines, from plant physiology to landscaping or gardening. It refers to the strategy of some plants to persist and even thrive in environments with low light levels because of the shade produced by the vegetation proximity (e.g. in the understory).

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

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,

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.

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.

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 ...

Shade avoidance syndrome in soybean and ideotype toward shade tolerance. [PDF]
Mol Breed, 2023 The shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) in soybean can have destructive effects on yield, as essential carbon resources reserved for yield are diverted to the petiole and stem for exaggerated elongation, resulting in lodging and susceptibility to disease.
