16 gru 2017 · Leaf angle is defined as the inclination between the midrib of the leaf blade and the vertical stem of a plant. This trait has been identified as a key component in the development of high-yielding varieties of cereal species, particularly maize, rice, wheat, and sorghum.
6 lis 2017 · Leaf angle, defined as the inclination between the leaf blade midrib and the stem, is one of the most important canopy architecture parameters that influence light interception, photosynthetic efficiency, and planting density.
20 kwi 2023 · We review the role of leaf angle in studies of ecophysiology, ecosystem ecology and earth system science, and highlight the essential yet understudied role of leaf angle as an ecological strategy to regulate plant carbon–water–energy nexus and to bridge leaf, canopy and earth system processes.
25 sty 2022 · Leaf angle (LA) is a key trait of plant architecture and a target for genetic improvement of crops. Upright leaves allow better light capture in canopy under high-density planting, thus enhancing photosynthesis efficiency, ventilation and stress resistance, and ultimately higher grain yield.
25 mar 2015 · The leaf angle (LA) was scored as the angle of each leaf from a plane defined by the stalk below the node subtending the leaf. The leaf length (LL) was measured as the length from the base of the ligula to tip of the leaf.
16 mar 2007 · Leaf angle distribution is one of the key parameters to simulate radiative transfer and energy and mass balance of vegetative canopies. Five leaf angle distributions functions have been proposed to account for the non-random distribution of leaf inclination angle.
29 wrz 2010 · In the first part of this review we will discuss the functional consequences of leaf orientation for plant performance. Next, we will consider hyponastic growth and describe how exploitation of natural (genetic) variation can be instrumental in studying the relevance and control of leaf positioning. Keywords:
