Abstract Background and Aims Leaflet shapes of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum)
have been reduced to simple geometric shapes in previous functional–structural plant …

Leaves, crucial for plant physiology, exhibit various morphological traits that meet diverse
functional needs. Traditional leaf morphology quantification, largely 2-dimensional (2D), has …

The 'holy grail'of trait-based ecology is to predict the fitness of a species in a particular
environment based on its functional traits, which has become all the more relevant in the …

Future climatic conditions might have severe effects on grapevine architecture, which will be
highly relevant for vineyard management decisions on shoot positioning, pruning or cutting …

Leaf bilateral asymmetry, an important indicator of leaves that tend to be affected by the
above-ground architectural structure of plants and their environments (especially light), has …

While functional–structural plant models (FSPMs) have been proposed as a tool for better
analysing and predicting interactions between plant structure and function, it is still unclear …

Leaf architecture is crucial for optimising light harvesting and photosynthetic efficiency.
Three-dimensional functional-structural plant models (FSPMs) are instrumental to analyse …
