Abstract:
... The geometrical structure of plant canopies has many implications for plant functioning, microclimatic conditions, and plant‐pathogen/herbivore interactions. Plant geometry can be described at several scales. At the finest scale, canopy structure includes the shape, size, location, and orientation of each organ in the canopy. This data set reports the three‐dimensional (3‐D) geometry of a set of f ...

Abstract:
... How much ABA can be supplied by the roots is a key issue for modelling the ABA-mediated influence of drought on shoot physiology. We quantified accumulation rates of ABA (SABA) in maize roots that were detached from well-watered plants and dehydrated to various extents by air-drying. SABA was estimated from changes in ABA content in root segments incubated at constant relative water content (RWC). ...

Abstract:
... Instance segmentation for high-resolution remote sensing images (HRSIs) is a fundamental yet challenging task in earth observation, which aims at achieving instance-level location and pixel-level classification for instances of interest on the earth’s surface. The main difficulties come from the huge scale variation, arbitrary instance shapes, and numerous densely packed small objects in HRSIs. In ...

Abstract:
... Many plants reproduce clonally through vegetative extensions (spacers). This results in a patch of clones connected through a network of spacers. The resulting network has a nontrivial spatial pattern that can be an important determinant of survival and fitness of the clonal plant. Here, we develop general growth rules that dictate how individual clones under local density-dependent conditions add ...

Detailed tree and branch measurements revealed a unique forked-branch (FBR) character of the 'A72' (Nn) phenotype. Th ...

Abstract:
... Apical control is the inhibition of a lateral branch growth by shoots above it (distal shoots). If the distal shoots are cut off to remove apical control, the lateral branch can grow larger and may bend upwards. Apical control starts when new lateral buds grow after passing through a period of dormancy. Buds initially break and produce leaves, then apical control is exerted and the lower (proximal ...

The distal zone of a shoot is characterized by a high proportion of vegetative or floral axillary branches mixed with latent buds and aborted laterals. The hypothesis tested here was that bud development was related to hydraulic co ...

Abstract:
... • Not all roots born as first-order branches are the same and this has important consequences for overall function. We hypothesized that, compared with fibrous roots, pioneer roots are built to live longer at the expense of absorptive capacity. • We tested this hypothesis by investigating pioneer and fibrous roots in their first 14 d of life in the arbuscular mycorrhizal tree species: Acer negundo ...

The effects of soil temperature on canopy formation, flowering, and yield of peanut stands remain to be elucidated, although considerable effort has been expended on studying the morphology, phenology, ecology and physiology of peanut. We conducted field experiments in 2000 and 2001 to investigate the dynamics of canopy formation in terms of the production of branches and leaves, flowering frequen ...

However, results of exploratory studies revealed drastic reduction of fruit y ...

Abstract:
... With the discovery of strigolactones as root exudate signals that trigger parasitic weed seed germination, and then as a branching inhibitor and plant hormone, the next phase of strigolactone research has quickly revealed this hormone class as a major player in optimizing plant growth and development. From the early stages of plant evolution, it seems that strigolactones were involved in enabling ...

Abstract:
... Branching is a key determinant of architectural quality of ornamental plants. Using plants trained to a single primary shoot, cultivars of Japanese maple (Acer sp.) 'Fireglow', 'Katsura', 'Orangeola', 'Red Emperor', 'Skeeter's Broom' and 'Sango Kaku' presented a diverse range of growth and sylleptic branching patterns. Shoot extension was more vigorous in 'Sango Kaku', which displayed uninterrupte ...

Abstract:
... Clonal architecture is involved in performance of clonal fragments, as it determines spatial distribution of ramets. It is expected to rely on the species-specific expression of several architectural traits (structural blue-print). However, in contrasting environments, realized clonal architectures may differ, due to phenotypic plasticity. In this paper, we compared clonal architectures between tw ...

Abstract:
... Few studies have assessed directly the impact of warming on plant growth and biomass production in the High Arctic. Here, we aimed to investigate the impact of 7 years of warming (open greenhouses) on the aboveground relative growth rate (RGR) of Cassiope tetragona and Salix arctica in North-Eastern Greenland. RGR was assessed for apical (leaves, stem, reproductive organs) and lateral meristems (s ...

Abstract:
... Branch architecture in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) is defined according to the location, type (vegetative or reproductive), and length of lateral shoots. This is related to both an inherent genetic basis for architecture and the response of the lateral buds and shoots to environmental constraints. Architecture is typically viewed as the result of time and position bud burst and outgrowth, or ...

branches; branching; photosynthesis; planting; testing
Abstract:
... • The performance of the whole plant is largely dependent on its ability to allocate limited resources to branches that perform best throughout its life. Here, the hypothesis that the fate of young branches is determined by their growth rates and not merely by their relative physical sizes or net photosynthetic outputs was tested. • The development of asymmetrical two‐branch plants was followed af ...
