B. Shipley, D. Vile, E. Garnier, I. J. Wright, H. Poorter, Functional Linkages between Leaf Traits and Net Photosynthetic Rate: Reconciling Empirical and Mechanistic ...

The hydraulic resistance of the leaf (R₁) is a major bottleneck in the whole plant water transport pathway and may thus be linked with the enormous variation in leaf structure and function among ...

They can be broad and flat, needle-like, lobed, or compound (composed of multiple leaflets). The diversity in leaf structure reflects adaptations to different environments and plant functions.

Revise the structure of a leaf and how it has several adaptations for photosynthesis with this BBC Bitesize Biology KS3 guide.

The natural structure found within leaves could improve the performance of everything from rechargeable batteries to high-performance gas sensors, according to an international team of scientists ...

The cellulose structure of ordinary plant leaves in Leaftronics can withstand high temperatures and serve as the basis for biodegradable microchips after certain treatments. The research team led by ...

Narrow Rows: Fixate on Structure and Population The foundation of success with high populations is hybrid selection, says Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie.

The team was then able to determine the structure of these light antennae. This is the first step to converting sunlight into energy using an artificial leaf.
