Leaf Traits of Trees in Tropical Dry Evergreen Forests of Peninsular India
Ecologies, 2021 A plant functional trait study was conducted to know the existing relationship between important leaf traits namely, specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), and leaf life span (LL) in tropical dry evergreen forest (TDEFs) of Peninsular ...

Determining relevant traits for selecting landrace accessions of Phaseolus lunatus L. for insect resistance [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Plant-insect interactions are a determining factor for sustainable crop production. Although plants can resist or tolerate herbivorous insects to varying degrees, even with the use of pesticides, insects can reduce plant net productivity by as much as 20%

Eco-Morphological and Physiological Behaviours of Atriplex halimus L. Under Different Natural Habitats [PDF]
Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural SciencesAtriplex halimus is a widely distributed species in the Mediterranean coastal areas and can grow under saline and non-saline habitats. Plant leaves were collected from two habitats; non-saline (1.14 dSm-1) and saline (30.63 dSm-1) at Borg Alarab area ...

Leaf trait divergence between Azadirachta indica (exotic) and native species of the northern Brazilian coast [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe introduction of exotic plants can pose ecological threats as they may become invasive. We investigated leaf traits potentially linked to competitive advantage and invasiveness in Azadirachta indica, a widely used exotic tree in northeastern Brazil’s ...
