摘要
Leaf shape is a key trait for plant architecture relating to photosynthesis and transpiration in plants(Lawson et al.,2020).Erect leaves with proper leaf length and width,particularly the upper three leaves in cereal crops,could significantly improve light absorption efficiency in canopy and ultimately increase crop yield(Jiao et al.,2010).Rice leaves initiate at the peripheral zone of shoot apical meristem,then develop along the proximal-distal,adaxial-abaxial,and mediallateral axes to form a flat symmetric architecture(Du et al.,2018).
