Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies on leaf morphological traits are predominantly focused on flag leaf length (FLL), width (FLW), and area (FLA), which are known to affect light interception. However, limited research has addressed on flag leaf thickness (FLT) and its intricate relationship with various yield components. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of FLT in determining photosynthetic capacity and...
