The leaf anatomy of 106 species of New World Velloziaceae has been studied with the purpose of providing important character-states in assessing the systematics of the family. Transverse section of ...

Rates of photosynthesis can be lower in plants grown under conditions of high leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference (VPD) than under low VPD. Leaf phenotype plasticity is a primary factor determining ...

Biologists have discovered fundamental rules for leaf design that underlie the ability of plants to make leaves that vary enormously in size. Life scientists from UCLA's College of Letters and Science ...
