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 ...

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

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 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 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,

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 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.

Different photosynthetic adaptation of Zoysia spp. under shading: shade avoidance and shade tolerance response. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Reduction of ambient solar radiation is an important external challenge for plants, which affects photosynthesis and morphogenesis in agroforestry or gardening. As bottomed sessile organisms, turfgrasses have a set of sophisticated photosynthetic strategies to survive and deal with this abiotic stress. Zoysiagrass (

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.
