Abstract excerpt

Enhancing rice photosynthesis is essential for increasing yield, yet the specific leaf morphological characteristics associated with high photosynthetic efficiency remain unclear. This study aims to investigate how reducing leaf width (LW) influences photosynthetic rate (A) and water-use efficiency (iWUE) in rice. Pot experiments were performed using 14 cultivated rice genotypes exhibiting considerable LW...
