Plant photosynthetic production as controlled by leaf growth, phenology, and behavior

G. B. Begonia1, M. T. Begonia1
1 Department of Biology, Jackson State University, Jackson, USA

In this historical review we summarize discoveries related to the flowering genes in controlling leaf area index (LAI, the leaf area per unit ground area) in sorghum, soybean, or pea crop stands. We also analyze similar work on Arabidopsis and dwarf and intermediate stem height genes in wheat and rice.

Additional key words: Arabidopsis; cultivar differences; genetics; Glycine; leaf area index; Oryza; Pisum; Sorghum; Triticum
