Question: Is there any generality in terms of leaf trait correlations and the multiple role of leaf traits (response to and/or effect on) during secondary succession? Location: A secondary ...

1. Senescent and rejuvenescent change in leaf form is a prime factor in producing variations in Taraxacum vulgare and T. laevigatum. 2. Senescence produces a steadily increasing degree of dissection, ...

A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that leaf optical behavior can be accurately inferred from measurable phenotypic ...

A single gene may act like a genetic dimmer switch, fine-tuning leaf variation between tomato plants. The gene reveals another way evolution can increase natural variation, and hints at the genetic ...
