Hey friend!!
The modifications of leaves are :-
1).Leaf tendrils- In weak stemmed plants, a part of the leaf or the leaf itself gets modified into threadlike structures called tendrils..
Ex- In wild pea, the whole leaf is modified into tendril
2).Leaf spines- Leaves of some plants become wholly or partially modified into spines, sometimes for defensive purposes or to reduce transpiration..
Ex- In Agave, spines develop from the apex as well as on the margin
3).Leaflet hooks- In some plants,terminal leaflets of leaves get modified into claw like hooks helped in climbing..
Ex- In Bigonia unguiscati, three terminal leaflets get modified into hooks..
Hope this helps ^_^
