For example, Tang (1988) found that shading affected growth and yield, decreased dry matter, and increased leaf thickness.
For example, BR deficient mutants such as det2 exhibited an increased leaf thickness.
Across plant species, earthworms increased leaf total N and secondary metabolites, AMF decreased leaf thickness.
In this study, induced BR deficiency in BRZ treated and CPD-antisense plants was associated with reduced leaf thickness.
Anatomical determinations of abaxial and adaxial cuticle thicknesses (CTb and CTd) and leaf thickness (LT) were made on thick transverse cross-sections (ca. 70 µm) at the point of maximum leaf width.
Amax increased with leaf thickness but the correlation was weak.
However, in present study, LMA didn't show a positive correlation with leaf thickness.
Specific leaf weight (SLW), as an indicator of leaf thickness, was not significantly different between lines.
Leaf thickness and length of palisade cells were significantly decreased under shading conditions, compared with full light treatment (Table 1).
In addition, significantly positive correlations were found between leaf thickness, palisade length and flavonoid concentrations (Table 8).
