When looking at forests, we hardly get to see beyond a bunch of green. However, for a plant ecologist, forests represent a much more complex world consisting of different species. This diversity of ...
Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for the healthy growth of plants, including many staple crops like rice. Its ...
Plants prevent dehydration by coating their aerial, primary organs with waxes. Wax compositions frequently differ between species, organs, and developmental stages, probably to balance limiting ...
Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for the healthy growth of plants, including many staple crops like rice. Its deficiency remains a common ...
A new study has found that plants regulate their leaf temperature with some independence from the surrounding air temperature, a trait that increases carbon uptake through photosynthesis. A new study ...
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 ...
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 ...
