Relating Trait Variation to Species and Community Productivity in Contrasting Oro-Mediterranean Pastures: A 7-Years Study in the Pollino National Park (S-Italy)

Plants, 2022
Understanding how functional traits influence community assemblage and functioning is crucial for assessing the effects of global change on vegetation composition.

The physiological basis for genetic variation in water use efficiency and carbon isotope composition in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

, 2013
Ecologists and physiologists have documented extensive variation in water use efficiency (WUE) in Arabidopsis thaliana, as well as association of WUE with climatic variation.

Rangewide responses of Mimulus cardinalis to an extreme heat event

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Extreme events are an understudied aspect of ongoing anthropogenic climate change that could play a disproportionate role in the threat that rapid environmental shifts pose to natural populations. Methods We exposed plants originating from seeds that were harvested before (ancestors) and after (descendants) multiple extreme heat events

The Role of Plant Evolutionary History in Shaping the Variation in Specific Leaf Area Across China

Ecology and Evolution
Specific leaf area (SLA, leaf area per unit leaf dry mass) occupies a central position in both community assembly and ecosystem functioning. Although SLA has significant phylogenetic signals, how and to what extent the evolutionary history influences the

Genotypic and environmental variation in specific leaf area in a widespread Alpine plant after transplantation to different altitudes [PDF]

, 2018
Specific leaf area (SLA) is an important plant functional trait as it is an indicator of ecophysiological characteristics like relative growth rate, stress tolerance and leaf longevity.

The sleeping giant needs coffee: Overlooked areas for integrating plant ecophysiology and evolutionary biology

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Interpretations of evolutionary outcomes are limited without incorporation of physiological ecology, and ecophysiological interpretations would benefit from incorporating evolutionary perspectives. Although there has been a rise of studies in the last 20 years between these fields, evolutionary studies that incorporate plant physiology have ...

Growth of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) plants affected by salinity

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2012
A greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effect of salt stress on the growth of the cape gooseberry. Sixty-seven-day-old cape gooseberry plants were surveyed in perlite pot cultures salinized with varying concentrations of NaCl, i.e.

Leaf Functional Traits Diversity of Mango Wild Relatives (Mangifera spp.)

Jurnal Biodjati
There are 69 species of Mangifera distributed worldwide, and approximately 35-40 of these species are found in tropical Asia. This widespread distribution naturally affects the functional characteristics of Mangifera species.
