Photosynthetic Pathways of Hesperaloe Funifera and H. Nocturna (Agayaceae): Novel Sources of Specialty Fibers

Abstract: Hesperaloe funifera and H. nocturna are currently being studied as potential new sources of fibers for specialty papers. This study investigated canopy architecture and light interception in H. funifera, and gas exchange in both species. H. funifera is an acaulescent rosette species with stiff, upright leaves. Mean leaf angle for 3-year-old plants was 70° from horizontal, and more than 90% of the leaf surface was at angles greater than 50°. Vertical orientation of leaves reduced seasonal variation in light int… Show more
