3 paź 2024 · Abstract. In grain crops such as maize (Zea mays), leaf angle (LA) is a key agronomic trait affecting light interception and thus planting density and yield. Nitrogen (N) affects LA in plants, but we lack a good understanding of how N regulates LA.
Leaf angle (LA) is a key trait of plant architecture and a target for genetic improvement of crops. Upright leaves allow better light capture in canopy under high-density planting, thus enhancing photosynthesis efficiency, ventilation and stress resistance, and ultimately higher grain yield.
27 cze 2022 · Leaf angle is an important agronomic trait determining maize (Zea mays) planting density and light penetration into the canopy and contributes to the yield gain in modern maize hybrids. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying leaf angle beyond the ZmLG1 (liguleless1) and ZmLG2 (Liguleless2) genes.
10 lis 2022 · Leaf angle (LA) is a key component of maize plant architecture that can simultaneously govern planting density and improve final yield. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying LA have not been fully addressed.
1 lip 2014 · Leaf angle (LA), one of the most important plant architecture traits for maize agronomics, plays a crucial role in determining grain yield. An erect leaf trait can contribute to maize grain yield by enhancing photosynthetic efficiency and allowing for increased planting density (Duvick et al., 2005; Vazin et al., 2010; Tian et al., 2011 ...
25 mar 2015 · The leaf angle (LA) was scored as the angle of each leaf from a plane defined by the stalk below the node subtending the leaf. The leaf length (LL) was measured as the length from the base of the ligula to tip of the leaf.
In plants, the leaf angle (LA) affects how densely crops can be planted and thus is one of factors determining grain yield per acre. This complex quantitative trait is controlled by developmental signals, hormones, and environmental factors (Luo et al., 2016).
