18 kwi 2013 · We describe the development and plasticity of leaf venation and its adaptation across environments globally, and a new global data compilation indicating trends relating vein length per unit area to climate, growth form and habitat worldwide.
7 kwi 2009 · Anatomical comparison of the parallel and marginal veins revealed considerable differences that might explain why salinity damage is expressed in the mesophyll tissue of the lamina margins but not in that of the central lamina. The lamina of banana leaf shows typical pinnate venation (Skutch 1927). Parallel veins about 1 mm apart branch ...
1 maj 2001 · One basic function of leaf venation is represented by its contribution to the mechanical behaviour of a leaf. Venation geometry and density influences mechanical stability and may affect, for example, susceptibility to herbivory.
1 maj 2001 · The leaves of extant terrestrial plants show highly diverse and elaborate patterns of leaf venation. One fundamental feature of many leaf venation patterns, especially in the case of angiosperm leaves, is the presence of anastomoses.
1 cze 2013 · This review summarizes current knowledge of interrelationships between the form and function of leaf venation and the evolution of Leaf venation patterns and refers to the topic of individual and intraspecific variation.
Leaf venation patterns (of dicots and for comparison of ferns) are analyzed according to form and function. From topological investigations of the gross vein system and the patterns of small veins
1 maj 2001 · In this review we summarize current knowledge of interrelationships between the form and function of leaf venation and the evolution of leaf venation patterns.
