A leaf is a flattened, typically green structure that is attached to the stem of a plant. Leaves are one of the main organs of a plant and play a vital role in its growth, metabolism, and reproduction ...

Leaves from different plants vary in photosynthetic capacity and in the carbon expended on growth and maintenance. Photosynthetic capacity, nitrogen concentration, longevity, and susceptibility to ...

Ms Armit: The leaf is a major organ in plants in which photosynthesis occurs. Without photosynthesis, there'd be very little life on Earth, because when plants photosynthesise, they take in carbon ...

Aim: Leaf traits strongly impact biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding leaf trait variation along environmental gradients is thus essential to improve the representation of ...

Short-stature corn hybrids are gaining more interest from farmers in the Corn Belt as wind events become a greater concern for standability. In the process of evaluating shorter hybrids for the farm, ...
