How functional traits influence plant growth and shade tolerance across the life cycle. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance Plant species differ in many functional traits—features of specific tissues and allocation of energy among them. While traits have been used in many correlative approaches to describe communities and demography, it has remained unclear how ...

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,

Unraveling Shade Tolerance and Plasticity of Semi-Evergreen Oaks: Insights From Maritime Forest Live Oak Restoration. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2019 Quercus spp. (oaks) are generally intermediate in shade tolerance, yet there is large variation within the genus in shade tolerance and plasticity in response to varying resource availability. Ecophysiological knowledge specific to semi-evergreen Quercus

Shade tolerance in Swarnaprabha rice is associated with higher rate of panicle emergence and positively regulated by genes of ethylene and cytokinin pathway. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 This study identifies characteristics of seedling, mature plant phenotypes, changes at genetic and genomic level associated with Swarnaprabha (SP) rice grown under prolonged shade and compared with Nagina 22 (N22). Coleoptile length under low red/far-red

Recent shifts in shade tolerance and disturbance traits in forests of the eastern United States
Ecological Processes, 2019 Background Current forests of the eastern USA have the potential to succeed in composition to more shade-tolerant species. However, long-term processes of transition from fire-tolerant tree species to fire-sensitive species and effects of current land ...

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 ...

Shade‐induced transcriptional reprogramming and metabolic adaptation in contrasting soybean genotypes [PDF]
The Plant GenomeShade stress affects soybean yield in intercropping, but the molecular basis of cultivar‐specific tolerance is unclear. We analyzed shade‐tolerant (Guru) and sensitive (Heinong 53) soybeans under 30% and 70% shade using transcriptomic, physiological, and

SHADE TOLERANCE IN TREE SEEDLINGS
New Phytologist, 1970 SummarySeedlings of five tree species of different shade tolerance were raissed in 100, 44, 17 and 3% of natural daylight. Growth analysis was carried out on data obtained from two harvests during the growing season. The net assimilation rates (E) of the more tolerant species were little higher in 100% daylight than in slight shade (44% daylight), but ...
