Incorporating cultivar-specific stomatal traits into stomatal conductance models improves the estimation of evapotranspiration enhancing greenhouse climate management [PDF]
The effect of considering cultivar differences in stomatal conductance (gs) on relative air humidity (RH)-related energy demand was addressed. We conducted six experiments in order to study the variation in evapotranspiration (ETc) of six pot rose cultivars, investigate the underlying processes and parameterise a gs-based ETc model.

Abstract To meet the demands of the production chain, breeding programs need to reduce the time for selection and development of higher yielding maize genotypes. This involves application of new strategies, such as the use of the doubled haploid lines. We evaluated the use of stomatal area and density in distinguishing doubled haploids (DH) from false ...

Stomatal Arrangement Pattern: A New Direction to Explore Plant Adaptation and Evolution
The arrangement patterns of stomata on the leaf surface influence water loss and CO2 uptake via transportation and diffusion between stomata, the sites of photosynthesis, and vasculature.

Optimization of leaf morphology in relation to leaf water status: A theory. [PDF]
The leaf economic traits such as leaf area, maximum carbon assimilation rate, and venation are all correlated and related to water availability. Furthermore, leaves are often broad and large in humid areas and narrower in arid/semiarid and hot and cold ...

Functional indicators of response mechanisms to nitrogen deposition, ozone, and their interaction in two Mediterranean tree species [PDF]
The effects of nitrogen (N) deposition, tropospheric ozone (O3) and their interaction were investigated in two Mediterranean tree species, Fraxinus ornus L. (deciduous) and Quercus ilex L.

Stomata regulates conductance, transpiration and photosynthetic traits in plants. Increased stomatal density may contribute to enhanced water loss and thereby help improve the transpirational cooling process and mitigate the high temperature-induced ...

Shifts in stomatal traits following the domestication of plant species [PDF]
Stomata are the major gates regulating substrate availability for photosynthesis and water loss. Although both processes are critical to yield and to resource-use efficiency, we lack a comprehensive picture on how domestication and further breeding have impacted on leaf stomata. To fill this gap, stomatal sizes and densities were screened in cultivated

The evolution of stomatal traits along the trajectory towards C4photosynthesis [PDF]
AbstractC4photosynthesis optimizes plants carbon and water relations, allowing high photosynthetic rate with low stomatal conductance. Stomata have long been believed as a part of C4syndrome. However, it remains unclear how stomata traits evolved along the path from C3to C4.

Linking xylem hydraulic conductivity and vulnerability to the leaf economics spectrum--a cross-species study of 39 evergreen and deciduous broadleaved subtropical tree species. [PDF]
While the fundamental trade-off in leaf traits related to carbon capture as described by the leaf economics spectrum is well-established among plant species, the relationship of the leaf economics spectrum to stem hydraulics is much less known.
