Abstract excerpt
Leaf size and shape are crucial traits affecting photosynthesis. Moderate leaf curling is believed to be beneficial to photosynthesis because upright leaves are ideal for building a canopy structure with reduced shaded areas to improve light penetration and ventilation. In this study, we investigated the cytological features of a natural cotton mutant showing cup-shaped leaves due to upward curling of leaf edge...
