Integrated morphometric and functional stomatal responses of urban tree species to chronic air pollution

Discover Plants
Urban air pollution poses a persistent threat to tree health, yet species-specific stomatal responses and adaptive strategies under chronic pollution stress remain poorly understood.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Evolution of leaf-form in land plants linked to atmospheric CO2 decline in the Late Palaeozoic era [PDF]

, 2001
The widespread appearance of megaphyll leaves, with their branched veins and planate form, did not occur until the close of the Devonian period at about 360 Myr ago.

Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

Leaf dry mass per unit area and leaf pigments underlying the higher stomatal conductance of deciduous species relative to evergreen species in Dendrobium

Botanical Studies
Background Leaf stomatal conductance is an important indicator of photosynthetic capacity. However, stomatal conductance is poorly quantified and rarely explored in the context of the leaf functional traits for epiphytes, particularly when it comes to ...

Using numerical plant models and phenotypic correlation space to design achievable ideotypes

, 2017
Numerical plant models can predict the outcome of plant traits modifications resulting from genetic variations, on plant performance, by simulating physiological processes and their interaction with the environment.

The Effect of Plant Water Storage on Water Fluxes within the Coupled Soil–Plant System [PDF]

, 2017
In addition to buffering plants from water stress during severe droughts, plant water storage (PWS) alters many features of the spatio-temporal dynamics of water movement in the soil–plant system.

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)

Phyllotaxy and environmental factors influences on leaf trait dimensions in Fraxinus mandshurica: a multidimensional approach within temperate forests

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionLight and soil nutrients are strong drivers of leaf trait variation, but the relative importance in shaping intraspecific trait variation across leaf developmental gradients remains poorly assessed.

Intraspecific variation in stomatal traits, leaf traits and physiology reflects adaptation along aridity gradients in a South African shrub [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2015
Trait-environment relationships are commonly interpreted as evidence for local adaptation in plants. However, even when selection analyses support this interpretation, the mechanisms underlying differential benefits are often unknown. This study addresses this gap in knowledge using the broadly distributed South African shrub Protea repens ...
