Title
Specific leaf area in barley: individual leaves versus whole plants
S. GUNN; J. F. FARRAR; B. E. COLLIS; et al. New Phytologist 1999. doi:10.1046/j.1469-8137.1999.00434.x
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Specific leaf area calculated for whole plants varied with plant age.
- Intervention effect Transferring plants to shade increased whole-plant specific leaf area (SLA P).
- Intervention effect Transferring plants to shade increased specific leaf area of leaves 3 and 4 on the main stem.
- Mechanism The increase in specific leaf area of leaves 3 and 4 is attributed to a decrease in their structural weight.
- Intervention effect Shading did not affect specific leaf area of leaf 2, the effect being confined to leaves developing in the new conditions.
