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.
16 gru 2017 · Leaf angle is defined as the inclination between the midrib of the leaf blade and the vertical stem of a plant. This trait has been identified as a key component in the development of high-yielding varieties of cereal species, particularly maize, rice, wheat, and sorghum.
Abstract. 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 this study, we found that the transcription factor (TF ...
6 lis 2017 · Leaf angle, defined as the inclination between the leaf blade midrib and the stem, is one of the most important canopy architecture parameters that influence light interception, photosynthetic efficiency, and planting density.
15 sie 2023 · In this short communication, we explore the potential of machine learning to remove the current bottleneck (manual operation/leaf identification) in estimating leaf angle distribution type, which does not require the acquisition of expensive equipment (e.g. terrestrial laser scanner).
20 kwi 2023 · Using two models, we show that leaf angle variations have significant impacts on not only canopy‐scale photosynthesis, energy balance and water use efficiency but also light competition within...
15 sty 2019 · Leaf angle distribution (LAD) is an important property which influences the spectral reflectance and radiation transmission properties of vegetation canopies, and hence interception, absorption and photosynthesis. It is a fundamental parameter of radiative transfer models of vegetation at all scales.
