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 New Phytologist, Vol. 143, No. 1, Special Issue: Variation in Leaf Structure (Jul., 1999), pp. 19-31 (13 pages) The mechanical behaviour of large foliage leaves in response to static and dynamic ...

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 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.

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

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.

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 ...
