Structural determinants of leaf light-harvesting capacity and photosynthetic potentials (2006, background): “Recent findings that more lobed leaves possess higher leaf hydraulic conductance, have led to suggestions that leaf lobation is an adaptive adjustment to improve K leaf (Siso et al. 2001; Zwieniecki et al. 2004 ).”
Viewing leaf structure and evolution from a hydraulic perspective (2010, background): “…attain high photosynthetic rates (and, hence, high transpirational fluxes) would be expected to produce very narrow needles or scale-leaves in which the xylem tissue (or transfusion tissue, see below) is separated only from the stomataby a fewcells (Zwieniecki et al. 2004a;Brodribb et al. 2007).”
Leaf venation: structure, function, development, evolution, ecology and applications in the past, present and future.
