Leaf Vein Density: A Possible Role as Cooling System
2015
Journal of Life Sciences
The study of leaves and their architecture evolution is important for understanding the fluid dynamics of water movement in leaves. Recent studies have shown how these systems can be involved in the performance of physiological aspects, which are directly connected with the density of the vascular network and stomata per unit of surface area. The vein architecture, beyond being essential for a mechanical support of the leaf, can also play a crucial role in the efficiency of the photosynthesis.
