Abstract excerpt
Leaf size and shape define the photosynthetic capability of a plant and have a significant impact on important agronomic traits, such as yield, quality, disease resistance and stress responses. Cultivated varieties of many plant species show remarkable variations in leaf morphology. Such variation usually exhibits a continuous phenotypic distribution and is controlled by the interaction of multiple genes known as...
