"The really interesting question is how a leaf with a certain form produces a certain function." Blonder developed a mathematical model to predict the functions of leaves based on three properties of ...

Oil bodies are intracellular structures present in the seed and leaf cells of many land plants. Seed oil bodies are known to function as storage compartments for lipids. However, the physiological ...

Plant biologists have discovered the key element, an EPFL2 peptide that is responsible for creating the teeth-like shapes on plant leaves. The zigzag edges of leaves, so-called leaf teeth, are ...

Guest presenter David Fripp is a keen collector of plants. He loves their variety and hates the idea of being limited to just one thing, so he has multiple collections. How plants use foliage to ...

Plant biologists are facing pressure to quantify the response of plants to changing environments and to breed plants that can respond to such changes. One method of monitoring the response of plants ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Exposure of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves to strong white light (1500 μmol photons·m-2·s-1) decreased the quantum yield of photosynthetic ...

Lidar remote sensing has shown high accuracy/precision for quantification of forest biophysical parameters needed for ecological management. Although the significant effect of Bidirectional Scattering ...
