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 · This newly proposed ‘smart canopy’ ideotype, with differential leaf angles at different plant levels, unravels new knowledge gaps to develop superior germplasm effectively and generates new questions about the genetic control of leaf angle.
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.
The sun position should enhance photosynthetic capacity and efficiency and promote leaf cooling during high solar radiation. The shade pasition should maximize the individual leaf photosynthetic input.
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.
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.
