Traits assessed that contributed to plant photosynthetic ability included leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll content (assessed as SPAD reading), and canopy temperature depression.
The scavenging ability of leaf essential oil, bark, leaves, fruit pulp and seed extracts on DPPH free- radicals was estimated according to the method of Shimada et al. (1992) [25].
A recent study conducted under non-limiting resources (Rebolledo et al. 2012; Luquet et al. 2012) identified organogenetic developmental rate (DR = 1/phyllochron), together with tillering ability and leaf size, as major genotypic determinant of rice early vigour.
It included the ability to leaf through each page, two pages at a time or look at a single page in a magnified setting.
Reducing ability of leaf extracts was measured at different concentrations (200 1000 μg/mL) and results are shown in Figure 9.
Leafeon's ability is Leaf Guard.
We explored the ability of leaf-cutting ants (Atta vollenweideri) to learn the location of a food reward by using thermal information as an orientation cue.
Thus, we evaluated the abilities of leaf extracts of A. precatorius to function as an antioxidant agent using in vitro assays.
This tool's ability to separate leaf pixels from various backgrounds also allows it to be used for leaf area and crop canopy measurement without masking soil or relying on infrared images to distinguish leaf area from background soil.
"Plastic" genotypes have the ability to modify leaf orientation.
