The lists resulting from the Limma P = 0.01 analysis was used to identify over-expressed genes in one specific tissue (bean flower or leaf).
The specific leaf area, expressed as the leaf area per unit dry weight, is one of the most widely used traits for describing leaf characteristics.
Differences between any two treatments in leaf and root morphological characteristics (i.e., root diameter, root length, root area, specific root length, specific root area, leaf area, specific leaf area, and organ biomass) were determined with SPSS 21.0 statistical software using one-way blocked analysis of variance (ANOVA IBM, NYNY, USA), with each treatment representing a block.
Regressive analysis showed that specific leaf weight decreased linearly with decreasing leaf starch content expressed on a leaf area basis (P = 0.0053, data not shown).
By contrast, standard leaf and wood traits, such as specific leaf area and wood density, had little explanatory power.
Marenco, R., Antezana-Vera, S. & Nascimento, H. Relationship between specific leaf area, leaf thickness, leaf water content and SPAD-502 readings in six Amazonian tree species.
Significant differences in leaf photosynthetic rate and in specific leaf area (SLA) were observed among cultivars.
Fluorescence intensity of specific leaf cells was quantified by ImageJ 1.48v.
The parenchyma bundle sheath was associated with leaf area and specific leaf area.
and 2) do plant traits (specific leaf area, leaf area, leaf dry matter content, leaf nutrients) reflect underlying soil nutrient status?
Specific leaf area did not differ between the two phases.
