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 ...

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 ...

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

Published in the journal Plant Pathology, the study used advanced microscopy to trace how the BLD-causing nematode, Litylenchus crenatae subsp. mccannii, alters leaf structure and function in ...

When choosing a hybrid and population for narrow rows, consider leaf architecture and ear type. There are essentially three types of leaves--upright, pendulum and semi-upright.
