INTRODUCTION OF LEAVES AND MODIFICATIONS OF LEAVES
This document discusses modifications of leaves in plants. It begins by defining what a leaf is and its typical characteristics. It then discusses five main types of leaf modifications: 1) leaf tendrils which help vines climb supports, 2) leaf spines which provide defense from grazing animals, 3) leaf hooks which aid climbing, 4) phyllodes where the petiole becomes flat and leaf-like to perform photosynthesis, and 5) insect-catching leaves like pitcher plants and bladderwort that trap insects for nutrients. Leaf modifications allow plants to perform additional functions like climbing, defense, and trapping prey.
Science - Topic 02: Plant Parts - branches and leaves
Green leaves perform photosynthesis using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce sugar for the plant. Leaves face towards the sun for photosynthesis. Leaves also help the plant breathe by taking in carbon dioxide from the air. Water and minerals are pulled from the roots up through the stem and branches and out the leaves. As plants grow, they produce more branches with leaves to gather more sunlight, food, and air without shading each other.

Also around lakes, ponds, marshes. Native to: Growth characteristics: large clumping shrub mature height: 6-15 ft. mature width: 12-15 ft. Upright, woody stems are slender, gray when young turning to brown. Leaves are linear, gray-green, and may be deciduous in winter. Grows in clumps that spread by underground stems. Fast growing (3-4 ft/year). Individual stems live 10-12 year – but new stems will replace the old, so clump is relatively long-lived. Mar-May. Yellow-green flowers on short erect stems, not showy. Dioecious (male and female flowers borne on separate plants). Important nectar source for bees, butterflies. Blooms/fruits: Uses in the garden: soil stabilization/erosion control along stream banks. For screens, hedges, along walls and fences. As a native substitute for bamboo in Asian-themed gardens. Excellent for wildlife habitat. Young wood used extensively in basket-making. Sensible substitute for: small non-native willows; small bamboos; Nandina Attracts: native bees, butterflies (larval food for Viceroys, Mourning Cloak), birds (nesting site). Requirements: Element Sun Soil Water Fertilizer Other Requirement Full sun to part shade Any texture (sandy to clay); any pH Needs water for establishment; then tolerates winter flooding & summer drought None needed Good heat tolerance Easy. Root system is spreading, so best to plant away from buildings, water lines and sewer lines. Remove dead stems in fall as needed. Management: Propagation: from seed: easy, but seeds have short viability by cuttings: easy during dormant season. Keep cuttings in water until they root, then pot in water-retentive potting mix.
