Abstract excerpt

Leaf venation density has significantly increased during plant evolution. Higher densities are observed in angiosperms compared with early land plants, and among angiosperms, recently diverged C4 species have the highest values. This enabled leaves to increase water conductance, transpiration and possibly photosynthesis. Despite its importance, the genetic architecture of this trait is not well-characterized, and...
