The main product of grapevines is grapes that are consumed fresh or processed. In addition,
grapevine leaves are harvested once a year as a by-product. The species of grapevine …

Abstract Background and Aims Leaf size has considerable ecological relevance, making it
desirable to obtain leaf size estimations for as many species worldwide as possible. Current …

Key message A generalized performance equation is proposed to fit the Lorenz curve of the
leaf size distribution of an individual plant and is validated using 12 individual bamboo …

Abstract Background and Aims Leaf area (A) is a crucial indicator of the photosynthetic
capacity of plants. The Montgomery equation (ME), which hypothesizes that A is proportional …

Abstract Background and Aims An individual plant consists of different-sized shoots, each of
which consists of different-sized leaves. To predict plant-level physiological responses from …

A model for estimating the area of individual leaves (LA) by employing their dimensions was
developed for chrysanthemum. Further hypotheses were tested:(a) LA estimation is …

The inequality in leaf and fruit size distribution per plant can be quantified using the Gini
index, which is linked to the Lorenz curve depicting the cumulative proportion of leaf (or fruit) …

Abstract Background and Aims The Montgomery–Koyama–Smith (MKS) equation predicts
that total leaf area per shoot is proportional to the product of the sum of individual leaf widths …

Total leaf area per plant is an important measure of the photosynthetic capacity of an
individual plant that together with plant density drives the canopy leaf area index, that is, the …

Recently, a universal equation by Narushin, Romanov, and Griffin (hereafter, the NRGE)
was proposed to describe the shape of avian eggs. While NRGE can simulate the shape of …
