Hard and tough: the coordination between leaf mechanical resistance and drought tolerance
A Nardini - Flora, 2022 - Elsevier
Leaves of terrestrial plants vary tremendously in size, shape, and stiffness. Hard leaves with
high mass per unit area (LMA) occur more frequently in water-and nutrient-limited habitats …

A simplified framework for fast and reliable measurement of leaf turgor loss point
Drought tolerance shapes the distribution of plant species, and it is mainly determined by the
osmotic potential at full turgor (π 0) and the water potential at turgor loss point (Ψ tlp). We …
