 Leaf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A structurally complete leaf of an angiosperm consists of a petiole (leaf stem), a lamina (leaf blade), and stipules (small processes located to either side of the base of the petiole).
They may be lasting and not be shed (a stipulate leaf, such as in roses and beans); or be shed as the leaf expands, leaving a stipule scar on the twig (an exstipulate leaf).
Palmate-netted, palmate-veined, fan-veined; several main veins diverge from near the leaf base where the petiole attaches, and radiate toward the edge of the leaf; e.g.

 Plant Petiole Sap-Testing For Vegetable Crops
Although three or four petioles may produce a sufficient amount of sap for testing, additional plants must be sampled to ensure that the sap sample is representative of the field or area being tested.
The petioles should be chopped and mixed, and a subsample of the chopped petiole pieces used for the final sample to crush.
Guidelines for petiole sap N and K concentrations are presented in Table 1.

 Comparison of the Two Methods for the Analysis of Petiole Nitrate Nitrogen Concentration in Irrigated Cotton
They found that the NO -N concentrations measured in the petiole sap extracts increased relative to those measured in the dried petioles during later stages of growth, and concluded that this may be a result of the decrease in moisture content in mature cotton plants.
Petioles were sampled from the uppermost, fully expanded mature leaf, which generally fell in the vicinity of the fourth or fifth node below the terminal.
Dried petiole samples were extracted with a 0.025 M Al buffer solution containing 10 mg NO The extraction process involved the addition of 40 ml of the extracting solution to 400 mg of dried sample and shaking the mixture for 15 minutes.

The petiole gall psyllid is usually not sufficiently abundant to cause serious damage to its host, but gall infested leaves are unsightly during late fall and winter.
The petiole gall psyllid is found throughout the range of its four hackberry hosts - from Connecticut to Idaho, southwest to Arizona and southeast throughout Florida.
Adult petiole gall psyllids are fairly large for psyllids (5.0 to 6.0 mm to tip of folded wings) and resemble small cicadas.

 Petiole Nitrate Monitoring
Researchers have found that by monitoring the nitrate-nitrogen content of cotton petioles (leaf stems), adjustments can be made in the nitrogen fertilization program during the growing season to compensate for seasonal variations.
otton petiole analysis consists of chemically monitoring the nitrate-nitrogen and phosphorus content of cotton petioles for a ten-week period.
If petiole nitrate-nitrogen is low during the first three weeks of blooming, a soil application, foliar application or both will be recommended.

Petiole samples were collected from four specified irrigation levels in each of the N treatment plots on a weekly or biweekly basis beginning in early July through the remainder of the growing season.
The remaining petioles were dried and saved for later analysis for dry matter NO concentration according to the conventional protocol for petiole testing.
Petiole sap analysis, like dry matter analysis, is an accurate indication of crop N status, but it is just one of the pieces of information that a grower uses to manage a fertilization program.

Our second objective was to establish the critical petiole NO^sub 3^-N concentration using the relationship between petiole NO^sub 3^-N concentration and the N nutrition index (NNI), an index based on the N concentration of shoots and tubers.
The NO^sub 3^-N concentration of petioles from the most recently mature leaves was measured on three sampling dates in 1995 and four sampling dates in 1996 and 1997.
The critical petiole NO^sub 3^-N concentration, that is the petiole NO^sub 3^-N concentration required to reach close to maximum yield, has most often been established using the relationship between petiole NO^sub 3^-N concentration and tuber yield (Gardner and Jones 1975; Williams and Maier 1990; Porter and Sisson 1991; Westcott et al.

A leaf is an aerial and lateral outgrowth of the stem of a usually flat and dorsiventral anatomy.
It functions mainly to manufacture food by photosynthesis and consists typically of a stalk also called petiole, a flattened blade, the lamina, and the leaf base.
Among these are thorns where the moulding of the blade does not occur and the leaf veins have been strengthened by the deposit of a though material, as well as leaf tendrils that also miss the lamina but have an extremely pliable and tension-proof petiole.
