20 kwi 2023 · Leaf angle, the angle between the leaf normal and the zenith (Figure 1, Box 1), is a key leaf trait associated with light interception, photosynthesis, energy balance and competition among individual plants (Anten, 2005; Nilsen & Forseth, 2018; Ross, 1980).
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.
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:
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.
15 sty 2014 · Leaf angle distribution (LAD) is one of the most important parameters used to describe the structure of horizontally homogeneous vegetation canopies such as field crops. LAD affects how incident photosynthetically active radiation is distributed on plant leaves, thus directly affecting plant productivity.
Observations of leaf orientation showed that the leaves of most species are slanted, some to nearly vertical, in full sun and are more nearly horizontal in the shade. Although no preferential orientation for compass direction was observed, these responses may be useful.
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.
