leaf sheath

Inflorescence a short dense head, subtended by an inflated leaf sheath with rudimentary blade.

The vertical structures of leaf sheath biomass were not the same during different sampling periods.

Inflorescence usually a contracted panicle, enclosed in uppermost leaf sheath or shortly exserted, spikelets few.

Even more amazing were the many red ants that had gathered to form a ball encircling the leaf sheath.

The leaves were consisted of leaf sheath and laminae . The laminae were flat and strip shaped with parallel venation.

Perennials; leaf sheath slightly shorter than blade; upper glume shorter than lowest lemma.

Internodes initially hairy below node; leaf sheath auricles and oral setae absent.

Panicle branches enclosed by uppermost leaf sheath; lemma hairs in lines.

Seedling: Purple leaf sheath, green leaves, light purple edge of leaves.

outermost leaf sheath usually scabrous.

Internodes glabrous; leaf sheath auricles large, falcate, fimbriate with brown setae ca. 1 cm.

branches arising singly from nodes and subtended by a leaf sheath and 2-keeled prophyll, often fascicled in bamboos.

Leaf sheath of cauline leaves split almost to base.

leaf sheath with reddish margin.

3 (2) Inflorescence an open or spike like panicle, exserted from uppermost leaf sheath.

Herbs perennial, 5--8 cm tall, glabrous except for ciliate leaf sheath and calyx.

2 (1) Ligules of culm sheath and leaf sheath long ciliate.

Leaf sheath and blade abaxially glabrous; capsule ca. 1. 5 cm.

Leaf sheath and blade abaxially densely subappressed pubescent; capsule 2--3. 5 cm.

leaf sheath often shortly prolonged on both sides into a pair of auricles at leaf blade juncture;

leaf sheath mostly less than 10 mm, hirsute throughout, sometimes glabrous except for a hirsute line along mouth slit;

Leaves alternate, mostly scattered along stem, usually reduced to an open leaf sheath with a rudimentary blade;

A Relationship between the Yield Formation and Leaf Sheath and Stem of the Top Layer in Hybrid Rice

Panicle lax, ovate in outline, up to 20 cm, base often enclosed in terminal leaf sheath;

Leaf sheath grayish green, usually shorter than internodes, smooth or slightly scabrous;

Leaf sheath membranous or fibrous, smooth, but those of lower leaves sometimes hairy;

Leaf sheath scabrous and puberulent on lower leaves, glabrous and slightly inflated on upper leaves;

Before anthesis, nematodes were attracted to the leaf sheath and apical meristem, nematode load increased by 40%;

Leaf sheath nearly glabrous, without tessellation;

Leaf sheath glabrous, rarely pubescent on lowermost leaves;

Leaves sessile; leaf sheath conspicuously striate, red on basal leaf;

Leaves sessile; leaf sheath ca. 6 mm, sparsely puberulent on side opposite leaf blade, glabrous elsewhere;

leaf sheath auricles well developed or not, acute, ca. 1 mm;

leaf sheath open, broadly membranous, often with ligule adaxially at juncture with leaf blade;
