Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To maximize photosynthetic efficiency, plants have evolved a capacity by which leaf area scales allometrically with leaf mass through interactions with the environment. However, our understanding of genetic control of this allometric relationship remains limited. RESULTS: We integrated allometric scaling laws expressed at static and ontogenetic levels into genetic mapping to identify the quantitative...
