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.
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.
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 ...
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.
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).
12 cze 2024 · Here we identified leaf angle architecture of smart canopy 1 (lac1), a natural mutant with upright upper leaves, less erect middle leaves and relatively flat lower leaves. lac1 has...
29 wrz 2023 · The leaf angle genetic gain (toward more erect leaves) was on average 0.08% year −1 for the middle canopy leaves and eightfold larger for the flag leaf. Our results revealed a synergistic effect with similar contributions of maize breeding and plant density on historical leaf angle changes in the middle canopy.
