This review examines how leaf trichomes influence leaf physiological responses to abiotic
environmental drivers. Leaf trichomes are known to modulate leaf traits, particularly radiation …

Background Obtaining an optimal flower temperature can be crucial for plant reproduction
because temperature mediates flower growth and development, pollen and ovule viability …

Abstract The Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) leaf copes well with cold winters in
southeastern China. However, until now, there has been almost no research on its …

Plants have long been thought to be less dependent on pollinators for seed production at
higher elevations due to adverse pollination environments. However, recent research has …

Abstract The Hengduan Mountains (HDM) in China are an important hotspot of plant
diversity and endemism, and are considered to be a secondary diversification center for the …

Understanding how species adapt to extreme environments is an extension of the main
goals of evolutionary biology. While alpine plants are an ideal system for investigating the …

摘要高山冰缘带紧邻雪线, 位于高山生境的最前端, 在山地植物垂直带谱中位居最高,
是陆地生态系统中最为极端的生境之一. 受到高原环境中多变的气候, 多样的地形 …

The petiole–lamina relationship is central to the functional tradeoff between photosynthetic
efficiency and the support/protection cost. Understanding environmental gradients in the …

In the context of climate change, the optical properties of grapevine leaves have been used
in imaging technologies to screen grapevine phenotypes tolerant to water deficit and heat …

Specialized bracts of Himalayan 'glasshouse'plants are well known for adapting to diverse
stresses in alpine environments, thus ensuring normal sexual reproduction. However, little …
