Impact of light on leguminous shrub development
Phenotypic plasticity in seedlings of six green-stemmed leguminous shrubs in response to light is assessed by Valladares et al. (pp. 577-584). They show that survival in deep shade increases significantly with increasing ratios of leaf to total photosynthetic area, and that responses to light differ between stems and leaves within each species.
