Abstract excerpt
Leaves play a crucial role in photosynthesis and respiration, ultimately affecting the final grain yield of crops, including wheat (Triticum aestivum L.); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying wheat leaf development remain largely unknown. Here, we isolated a narrow-leaf gene, TaWAK2-A, through a map-based cloning strategy. TaWAK2-A encodes a wall-associated kinase (WAK), for which a single Ala-to-Val...
