Leaf structure and function of sweet cherry tree (Prunus avium L.) cultivars with open and dense canopies. Scientia Horticulturae, 116(4):381-387.Goncalves B, Correia CM, Silva AP et al (2008) Leaf structure
The flat structure of a leaf blade enables it to function as a photosynthetic organ for efficient light capture. The leaf rim or the edge-most region of leaf margin directs the planar growth of both leaves and ligules in grasses. Jie Zhang Hilde Nelissen News & Views04 May 2023 Nature...
Besides, leaf venation is remarkably similar to mammalian vasculature regarding the hierarchical structure and high-efficient fluid transportation function27. Inspired by these similarities, we employed the leaf-venation networks to direct the self-assembly of cell/hydrogel hybrids into tissue constructs ...
Little is known about respiratory structures during metamorphosis in bees, and this study provides the first description of tracheal system structure and function in developing M. rotundata. Studies such as this are important for understanding how basic physiological parameters change throughout development...
Atmospheric nitrogen deposition is a crucial factor influencing the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems. The researchers from the South China Botanical Garden under the Chinese Academy of Sciences hoped to analyze the effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on the photosynthetic carbon absorpt...

function GO analysis (Figure1), 36.56% and 47.88% ofMelampsorasecreted proteins with a GO assignment were involved in binding (GO:0005488) and catalytic activity (GO:0003824), respectively. Note that there was a trend towards concentration of a distinct set of processes and functions in the ...
The activity of RubisCO is also lower at high temperatures as the function of the enzyme RubisCO activase is reduced38,41. Photosystem II (PSII) is strongly affected by high temperatures as the structure and function of the thylakoid membranes, where electron transport occurs within the ...
3a). We hypothesized that this spring softening of the nNE would decrease the resistance of the hinge region to the closure of the origami structure, which may increase the rate of transcription. Somewhat unexpectedly, however, we observed a comparable transcription rate of nNEsoft and the ...
Given that dy/dx = βα∙xα−1, the sign of α−1 determines whether dy/dx is an increasing function of x (α−1 > 0) or a decreasing function of x (α−1 < 0) or whether x and y are proportional (α = 1). Niklas et al. (2007) collected 1943...
