Long-term effects of red- and blue-light emitting diodes on leaf anatomy and photosynthetic efficiency of three ornamental pot plants [PDF]
Light quality critically affects plant development and growth. Development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) enables the use of narrow band red and/or blue wavelengths as supplementary lighting in ornamental production.

Genetic association of stomatal traits and yield in wheat grown in low rainfall environments [PDF]
Published: 4 July 2016Background: In wheat, grain filling is closely related to flag leaf characteristics and function. Stomata are specialized leaf epidermal cells which regulate photosynthetic CO2 uptake and water loss by transpiration.

Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis: Stress, Trait Anger and Anxiety of Patients
In this case-control study, recent stress and trait anger/anxiety of otherwise healtlhy patients with active recurrent aphthous stomatitis were compared to those of dental patients with no history of RAS (controls). RAS group reported more angry/anxious feelings than controls (2.11 +/- 0.38/1.84 +/- 0.30, respectively; p < 0.001), and more recent ...

Inheritance of Early Stomatal Closure Trait in Soybean: Ellis × N09-13890 Population
Drought conditions exhibit various physiological and morphological changes in crops and thus reduce crop growth and yield. In order to mitigate the negative impacts of drought stress on soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) production, identification and selection of genotypes that are best adapted to limited water availability in a specific environmental ...

Short-term physiological plasticity.Trade-off between drought and recovery responses in three Mediterranean cistus species [PDF]
Short-term physiological plasticity allows plants to thrive in highly variable environments such as the Mediterranean ecosystems. In such context, plants that maximize physiological performance under favorable conditions, such as Cistus spp., are ...

Buckwheat Stomatal Traits Under Aluminium Toxicity
Aluminium influence on some stomatal parameters of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) was studied. Significant changes in stomatal density, stomatal index and stomatal shape coefficient under aluminium treatment were revealed. Stomatal closure and no difference in total stomatal potential conductance index of treatment plants were ...

QTLs for stomatal and photosynthetic traits related to salinity tolerance in barley [PDF]
Stomata regulate photosynthesis and transpiration, and these processes are critical for plant responses to abiotic stresses such as salinity. A barley double haploid population with 108 lines derived from a cross between CM72 (salt-tolerant) and Gairdner (salt-sensitive) was used to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with stomatal and ...
