Leaf morphogenesis influences nutritive-value dynamics of tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) cultivars of different leaf softness
(Csiro Publishing, 2017-01-23)
The objective of this study was to compare the dynamics of neutral detergent fibre (NDF), and the 24-h in-vitro digestibility of NDF (NDFD) and dry matter (DMD) in leaf blades of two tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) ...
Functional relationships between leaf hydraulics and leaf economics in response to nutrient addition in subtropical tree species
(Oxford Univ Press, 2013-11)
Leaves can be both a hydraulic bottleneck and a safety valve against hydraulic catastrophic dysfunctions, and thus changes in traits related to water movement in leaves and associated costs may be critical for the success ...
Leafing patterns and leaf traits of four evergreen shrubs in the Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Elsevier Masson, 2009-11)
We assessed leafing patterns (rate, timing, and duration of leafing) and leaf traits (leaf longevity, leaf mass per area and leaf-chemistry) in four co-occurring evergreen shrubs of the genus Larrea and Chuquiraga (each ...
Leaf life spans of some conifers of the temperate forests of South America

Estimation of leaf area in pecan cultivars (Carya illinoinensis)

Leafing patterns and leaf exchange strategies of a cerrado woody community
(2018-05-01)
The deciduousness of tropical trees and communities depend on ecosystems characteristics such as plant species diversity, and strength of the dry season. Based on seven years of phenological observations, we provide the ...
Activity of sesame leaf extracts to the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera : Formicidae)
(California State University, 2004-01-01)
Crude extracts of new and old sesame leaves (Sesamum indicum, Linaeus) obtained by a sequential process of extraction were tested through contact experiments to investigate their toxicity to Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Forel) ...
Activity of sesame leaf extracts to the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Hymenoptera : Formicidae)
(California State University, 2004-01-01)
Crude extracts of new and old sesame leaves (Sesamum indicum, Linaeus) obtained by a sequential process of extraction were tested through contact experiments to investigate their toxicity to Atta sexdens rubropilosa (Forel) ...
Shifting from acquisitive to conservative: the effects of Phoradendron affine (Santalaceae) infection in leaf morpho-physiological traits of a Neotropical tree species
(Csiro Publishing, 2017-01-01)
Mistletoes are parasitic plants that penetrate the host branches through a modified root and connect to their xylem to acquire nutrients and water. Under mistletoe infection, resources that would otherwise be used by the ...
Non-destructive estimation of the leaf weight and leaf area in common bean
(MDPI, 2022)
Regression models to predict leaf area and leaf weight in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) were fitted using the three leaflets of the leaves. A total of 1504 leaves from 40 genotypes were collected, covering a large range ...
