Within‐Plant Leaf Maturity and Trichome Density Variation Shape the Elemental Composition Divergence in Desert Plant Sand Rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum)

ABSTRACT Subindividual variation in leaf elemental composition, driven by trichome density and leaf maturity, is critical for plant adaptation but poorly understood in desert species. Here, we reveal that sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum), a potential future food crop, exhibits obvious declines in...
