Accuracy of using leaf blade length and leaf blade width measurements to calculate the leaf area of Solanum aethiopicum Shum group

Leaf area index measurements

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key structural characteristic of forest ecosystems because of the role of green leaves in controlling many biological and physical processes in plant canopies. Accurate LA1 estimates are required in studies of ecophysiology, atmosphere-ecosystem interactions, and global change. The objective of this paper is to evaluate LA1 values obtained by several research teams us...

Registration of GEMS-0001 Maize Germplasm Resistant to Leaf Blade, Leaf Sheath, and Collar Feeding by European Corn Borer

The maize macrohairless1 locus specifically promotes leaf blade macrohair initiation and responds to factors regulating leaf identity.

The leaf surfaces of almost all plant species possess specialized epidermal cell types that form hairs or trichomes. Maize leaves produce three distinct types of hairs, the most prominent being the macrohairs that serve as a marker for adult leaf identity and may contribute to insect resistance. This report describes the maize macrohairless1 (mhl1) locus, which promotes macrohair initiation spe...
