The chemical analyses of leaf composition, elemental analysis of whole leaf carbon and nitrogen content and the microcalorimetry analyses provide evidence of changes in leaf composition between the two treatments.
The photosynthetic apparatus, leaf morphology and leaf composition are clearly affected by environmental conditions; moreover, they are intrinsically linked during leaf development.
Furthermore, if measurements were made on shoots in which growth had ceased due to WS, the ψw of these plants would be higher than WW plants, simply due to leaf composition.
Crown diameter and tipburn incidence were evaluated throughout the experimental period, and at the end of the experiment leaf mineral composition was assessed.
In the present work, a metabolomics approach was implemented to examine leaf chemical composition of 9 Coffea species grown in the same environmental conditions.
Hence, field experiments were carried out during 2015 (dry) and 2016 (wet) cropping seasons to determine the effect of various mulch materials on soil properties, leaf nutrient composition, yield and growth of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L).
The aim of the present study was to analyse the relationship between leaf mineral composition and the incidence of tipburn in three short-day strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch).
Nonetheless, soil factors seem to affect leaf chemical composition.
Leaves of these entries were assayed in triplicate for leaf polyphenolic composition using HPLC/DAD/MS.
If species are filtered from regional species pools, changing climate may affect both the species and leaf economic composition of plant communities.
