0 a thin, stem-like part of a climbing plant that holds on to walls or other plants for support --
1 a thin stem of a plant that twists and curls, or anything similar, such as a curl of hair --
The magnitude of the effect on tendril width is greater at node 17 compared with node 11.
Who can hold us, frail tendril in the last age of life?
We determined the following parameters of the flat tendril : length, maximum width, mass, and ratios of the maximum width to length and mass to length.
As predicted, the proportion of stem twiners increased and tendril climbers decreased over stand age in this study.
There was no significant difference among stem twiners, branch twiners and tendril climbers.
The recruitment of tendril climbers may be limited to the early stages of succession or to gaps during which time small diameter supports are available.
The proportions of tendril climbers decreased and stem twiners increased over stand age.
At the border of the compound leaf zones carrying leaflets and tendrils, mixed leaflet\tendril pairs are frequent, both organs having proper identity.
