In addition, significantly positive correlations were found between leaf thickness, palisade length and flavonoid concentrations (Table 8).
Strong correlations were found between leaf thickness, palisade length, monthly light intensity and measured flavonoid contents in the leaves of C. paliurus.
Leaf thickness and cell size were not significantly different between ambient temperature and elevated temperature I, but at elevated temperature II they were significantly reduced by approximately 8.2% and 21.1%, respectively, compared to those at ambient temperature.
Alternatively, other factors associated with leaf morphogenesis may be pleiotropic with leaf width, such as stomatal density or leaf thickness, and these may form the basis for the connection between leaf width and ∆13C.
Dry-site genotypes consistently had smaller leaf area and guard cell length, as well as greater leaf thickness and leaf mass per area for sun leaves; however, there were no differences in these parameters between dry-site and wet-site genotypes for shade leaves.
Leaf thickness and length of palisade cells were significantly decreased under shading conditions, compared with full light treatment (Table 1).
A digital caliper was used to measure the characteristics of leaf thickness and diameter of basal stem.
Leaf thickness and leaf cell area were analyzed using the cellP software (Olympus, Hamburg, Germany).
At the same density, leaf thickness and SLA will show a strictly positive and linear relation.
On the other hand, succulence and leaf thickness and the net assimilation per unit of leaf area (unit leaf rate) increased in response to salt treatment, thus partially counteracting reduced capture of light by lower leaf area.
