High planting densities expose field crops to competition for light, which typically induces shade avoidance responses such as stem elongation. While adaptive in natural environments, these responses...

This study evaluated non-conventional sowing architectures across distinct varieties and plant stands through field experiments conducted over two gro…

Growth rate, a key trait influencing plant resource use, scales predictably with plant mass, following remarkably consistent allometric power laws shaped by biophysical constraints and natural selecti...
