Scientists have determined how key developmental genes influence growth of cells to produce such differences in leaf form. The researchers were able to make thale cress, which typically produces ...

Researchers know that the variation in leaf shapes can mean big differences in a farmer's bottom line. Now, a new discovery gives plant breeders key genetic information they need to develop crop ...

Variation in the size and shape (physiognomy) of leaves has long been correlated to climate, and paleobotanists have used these correlations to reconstruct paleoclimate. Most studies focus on ...

Effects of leaf shape and other habitat structure variables on spider community organization and on microhabitat selection of immature Enoplognatha ovata in deciduous forest litter were studied in ...
