Arquitetura foliar de Odontonema strictum (Nees) O. Kuntze (Acanthaceae) em duas condições de luminosidade

Abstract: -(Leaf architecture of Odontonema strictum (Nees) O. Kuntze (Acanthaceae) in two light conditions). This study investigated the morphological characteristics that infl uence the foliar architecture of Odontonema strictum, under two light conditions. Branches of 15 individuals from high and low light were collected at the "Centro Politécnico" of the Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, PR. Leaf angle, leaf area, dried mass, lamina thickness, foliar density, length, diameter, dried mass and volume of the pe… Show more

“…Intracanopy plasticity can contribute to the whole canopy performance due to their effects on the energy and water balance of individual leaves (Gratini 2014). Several studies highlight that sun leaves tend to have sharp angles, smaller leaf area and stem lengths while leaf mass and blade thickness tend to be higher in shade leaves (Brites and Valladares 2005;Larcher and Boeger 2009). Physiological adjustments are also expected to exhibit plastic responses to light variations (Valladares et al 2002;Gratani 2014).…”

“…Para a análise desses atributos, era esperado que os valores da AFE fossem significativamente maiores no controle, devido à condição de sombreamento a que as espécies se encontravam, já que muitos estudos demonstraram que a AFE e o comprimento do pecíolo são maiores em ambientes sombreados (LICHTENTHALER et al, 1981;NIINIMETS;FLECKS, 2002;LIMA-JÚNIOR et al, 2005;DAHLGREN et al, 2006;POOTER;GARNIER, 2007;LARCHER;BOERGER, 2009). No entanto, na Área 1 foram obtidos valores iguais ou inferiores aos do controle e, na Área 2, as espécies tiveram tendência em apresentar valores significativamente maiores do que os do controle, mesmo para aquelas espécies estudadas somente nessa última área (com coeficiente de variação superior a 20%).…”

“…Plantas de ambientes mais sombreados tendem a ter folhas delgadas, área foliar específica (razão entre a área foliar e a massa seca da folha) e tamanho do pecíolo maiores, pois essas características ampliam a capacidade da captação de luz por unidade de biomassa foliar (NIINIMETS;FLECKS, 2002;DAHLGREN et al, 2006;LARCHER;BOERGER, 2009;GARNIER, 2007). Essa é uma estratégia geralmente utilizada pelas plantas de sombra para se ter maior sucesso na competição pela luz GARNIER, 2007).…”
