Overexpression of SHR enhance mesophyll cell division, resulting in a substantial reduction in leaf vein density. However, exogenous auxin treatments led to an increase in leaf vein density ...

Variations in angiosperm leaf vein density have implications for interpreting life form in the fossil record. Geology , 2014; DOI: 10.1130/G35828.1 Cite This Page : ...

Vein density reflects how much energy and resources the leaf has invested in the network, while distance between veins shows how well the veins are supplying resources to the leaf.

Overexpression of SHR enhance mesophyll cell division, resulting in a substantial reduction in leaf vein density. However, exogenous auxin treatments led to an increase in leaf vein density.

Likewise, leaf vein structures effectively route water from the surface to the roots through ... The prototype reached a maximum current density of 2 A/cm² and a power density of 700 mW ...

Leaf-vein embroidery first appeared in the Song Dynasty (960-1279), and has been used to transmit information by several ethnic groups in the southwestern region.

First, students learn how stomata density affects leaf carbon, water, heat budgets, and photosynthesis. Then, students design their own study to compare stomata density among leaves that differ in ...

The team confirmed its hypothesis by measuring the geometry of vein systems in the leaves of 32 plant species, ranging from thick-leaf succulents such as the Jade plant (Crassula ovata) to common ...

To measure the density of leaf veins, Brodribb and Feild had to pull each leaf apart and measure the total length of its veins. "It's easy to describe, but it's a horrifyingly laborious process ...

It’s hard being a plant leaf - being eaten is a major risk. In tropical forests, ~10-15% (>70% in some species) of leaf area can be lost via herbivory (Cardenas et al., 2014; Coley & Barone, 1996).
