THE weather may still be fickle and inscrutable, but upon us washes an ocean of expectant desires, summoned by the wilting pages of the calendar, the appearance of leaves and, of course, the sneezing.
Wax which is responsible for the glossy appearance of leaves usually contains phytochemicals including flavonoids, phenolics and sterols.
The appearance of leaves on the main stem is a linear function of temperature (Kirby, 1995) from close to 0 °C to at least 30 °C (Jamieson et al., 2008), but may peak and then reduce with increasing temperatures above 30 °C (Parent and Tardieu, 2012).
And, although nothing in graphic novel or the Broadway musical even hint at this -- the timing of Bruce's depression/psychosis and the appearance of HIV/AIDS leaves for some audience members lingering questions.

With records of the first appearance of their leaves and flowers going back to 1956, lilacs -- all of which are genetically identical to minimize variation among them -- have the longest record.
Twenty-one day old plants were sprayed with MeJA (100 µM) at 2-day intervals for 10 days, and the appearance of new leaves over that period was recorded.
The inverse of the leaf appearance rate is the phyllochron, the interval between the appearance of successive leaves, and this differs among genotypes (Jamieson and Munro, 2000).
