Baird A, Taylor S, Pasquet-Kok J, Vuong C, Zhang Y, Watcharamongkol T, et al.
New Phytol . 2025 Jan; 245(5):1924-1939. PMID: 39757432
Grasses are exceptionally productive, yet their hydraulic adaptation is paradoxical. Among C grasses, a high photosynthetic rate (A) may depend on higher vein density (D) and hydraulic conductance (K). However,...

Baird A, Medeiros C, Caringella M, Bowers J, Hii M, Liang J, et al.
Am J Bot . 2024 May; 111(5):e16328. PMID: 38727415
Premise: Previous studies have suggested a trade-off between trichome density (D) and stomatal density (D) due to shared cell precursors. We clarified how, when, and why this developmental trade-off may...

Baird A, Taylor S, Reddi S, Pasquet-Kok J, Vuong C, Zhang Y, et al.
Plant Cell Environ . 2023 Oct; 47(1):156-173. PMID: 37876323
Allometric relationships among the dimensions of leaves and their cells hold across diverse eudicotyledons, but have remained untested in the leaves of grasses. We hypothesised that geometric (proportional) allometries of...

Baird A, Taylor S, Pasquet-Kok J, Vuong C, Zhang Y, Watcharamongkol T, et al.
Nature . 2021 Mar; 592(7853):242-247. PMID: 33762735
One of the most notable ecological trends-described more than 2,300  years ago by Theophrastus-is the association of small leaves with dry and cold climates, which has recently been recognized for...

Liu C, Li Y, Zhang J, Baird A, He N
Front Plant Sci . 2020 Apr; 11:341. PMID: 32269584
Multi-dimensional trait mechanisms underlying community assembly at regional scales are largely unclear. In this study, we measured leaf economic, hydraulic and anatomical traits of 394 tree species from tropical to...

Baird A, Anderegg L, Lacey M, HilleRisLambers J, Van Volkenburgh E
Tree Physiol . 2017 Apr; 37(9):1140-1150. PMID: 28379516
Developmental phenotypic plasticity can allow plants to buffer the effects of abiotic and biotic environmental stressors. Therefore, it is vital to improve our understanding of how phenotypic plasticity in ecological...
