Seed germination traits can contribute better to plant community ecology
(2016-05-01)
Analyses of functional traits have become fundamental tools for understanding patterns and processes in plant community ecology. In this context, regenerative seed traits play an important, yet overlooked, role because ...
Leaf herbivory modulates fruit trait correlations within individual plants
(Springer, 2020-06)
Plant performance is based on the relationship between resource acquisition and allocation to complete essential functions. Herbivory causes compromises in resource allocation that impact at the plant and within-plant ...
A handbook for the standardised sampling of plant functional traits in disturbance-prone ecosystems, with a focus on open ecosystems
(2020-12-01)
Plant functional traits provide a valuable tool to improve our understanding of ecological processes at a range of scales. Previous handbooks on plant functional traits have highlighted the importance of standardising ...
Meaningful traits for grouping plant species across arid ecosystems
(Springer Tokyo, 2016-05)
Grouping species may provide some degree of simplification to understand the ecological function of plants on key ecosystem processes. We asked whether groups of plant species based on morpho-chemical traits associated ...
Plant functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness explain variation in associations with root fungal endophytes in an extreme arid environment
(Springer, 2014-07-06)
Since root endophytes may ameliorate drought stress, understanding which plants associate with endophytes is important, especially in arid ecosystems. Here, the root endophytes were characterized of 42 plants from an arid ...
Canonical correlations between agronomic traits and seed physiological quality in segregating soybean populations
(Funpec-editora, 2017-04-13)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between agronomic traits and physiological traits of seeds in segregating soybean populations by canonical correlation analysis. Seven populations and two ...
Secondary traits related to kernel setting in transgenic maize hybrids at low and high plant densities and their potential use in breeding programs
(Maydica-ist Sper Cerealicoltur, 2019-12)
Maize (Zea mays. L) traditional breeding presents limitations when selection is performed by adaptation to suboptimal conditions. One strategy to achieve greater efficiency in these environments is to include measurements ...
Complex trait‒environment relationships underlie the structure of forest plant communities
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-08)
Traits differentially adapt plant species to particular conditions generating compositional shifts along environmental gradients. As a result, community-scale trait values show concomitant shifts, termed trait‒environment ...
FunAndes – a functional trait database of andean plants
(2022)
We introduce the FunAndes database, a compilation of functional trait data for the Andean flora spanning six countries. FunAndes contains data on 24 traits across 2,694 taxa, for a total of 105,466 entries. The database ...
