Photosynthesis and certain morphological characteristics of alfalfa as affected by potassium nutrition
… assumed that K contributed either to increased leaf expansion, thereby resulting in a larger photosynthetic surface, or to higher CO₂ assimilation rates per unit leaf area. Sand culture technique for growing plants was used in two greenhouse experiments, while field plants were grown in plots …

Coordinated Tree Responses to Drought -Vulnerability and Sustainable Production: Hypotheses on Arid Ecosystem Adjustments to Limitations in Water Resources
… plant water status, growth, sap flux density, leaf transpiration and stomatal conductance, tissue water relations and isotope labeling. Similar measurements were conducted on plants growing in the greenhouse. Also examined in the greenhouse were root biomass, root structure as well as whole …

Linking transcript, QTL and association mapping to understand the genetic control of leaf size and shape in Populus
Leaf size in Populus is an adaptive trait and early indicator of biomass yield. In order to investigate the genetic variance contributing to this variation in leaf size a collection of Populus nigra L. were made from across Europe and were planted at a single site in Belgium, in a fully randomized …

Influence of ethephon on growth and flowering of flue-cured tobacco
Tobacco (<i>Nicotiana tabacum</i> L.) leaf initiation stops when floral induction is completed. Floral induction (an internal biochemical change which signals development of flowers) can occur prematurely, during the pre- and/or post-transplant environment. Plants which flower prematurely have few …

Effect of temperature and daylength on the phenological development of oats (Avena sativa L.)
… approach based on the co-ordinated processes of initiation and expansion of leaves and floral structures on the main shoot apex. To compare both approaches, phenological events of field grown oat crops, and the number of leaves and floral structures initiated and expanded on the main shoot apex …
