Abstract excerpt
The flag leaf is a major contributor of photosynthetic assimilates to developing grains. We investigated the genetic architecture and cellular basis of flag leaf length (FLL) and width (FLW) in a multiparent population of 45 recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations (HvDRR) in barley. Fine-mapping of a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) was performed to prepare the isolation of the causal gene. Natural...
