Gigantic floating leaves occupy a large surface area at an economical material cost by Box, F, Erlich, A, Guan, JH, Thorogood, C

“…In particular, the spatially varying thickness and regular branching of the primary veins ensures the structural integrity necessary for extensive coverage of the water surface, enabling optimal light capture despite a relatively low leaf biomass. …”

Nb and Ta intracrustal differentiation during granulite-facies metamorphism: evidence from geochemical data of natural rocks and thermodynamic modeling by Huang, G, Chen, Y, Guo, J, Palin, R, Zhao, L

“…We propose that in situ and in-source leucosomes and leucocractic veins in UHT terranes may retain a high-Nb/Ta geochemical signature. …”

Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, RP, Rex, AJ, Norry, MJ

“…The roof complex shows numerous stoped blocks, xenoliths and elongate rafts of host rock in the top 100 m together with an extensive zone of layer-parallel leucogranite veining.</p> <p>The northward-dipping Bhagirathi leucogranite was intruded syn-tectonically during the ductile to brittle transition and has been deformed into linked, en echelon bodies within the extensional shear zone at the interface between the Vaikrita Group gneisses and the Tethyan sedimentary cover. …”

Taxonomic significance of pollen, anatomical and morphological characteristics of red and green leaves Christia vespertilionis (L.f.) Bakh. f. (Fabaceae) by Talip, Noraini, Che Amri, Che Nurul Aini, Abdul Rahman, Mohamad Ruzi, Ahmad Juhari, Muhammad Amirul Aiman, Ghazalli, Mohd. Norfaizal, Zohari, Ahmad Fitri, Bunawan, Hamidun

“…Common features obtained from this study such are the presence of crystals and muscilaginous cells, presence of additional vascular bundles in the petiole and midrib, the presence of air spaces between the cells, pattern of anticlinal cells wall, presence of glandular and papillae trichomes, number of leaf veins, pedicel characteristics, number of petals, pollen class, aperture type, pollen size, and exine pattern. …”

Mechanics in dehydration-induced leaf morphing behaviors by Guo, Kexin

“…Through an integrated approach involving experimental measurements, numerical simulations, and theoretical modeling, we uncover the mechanisms underlying the leaf’s response to water stress, specifically focusing on the differential deformation between the 'hinge cells' and major veins. By these means, we elucidate the relation between structure, behavior, and function in plant leaves that is mostly dominated by mechanics. …”
