Constitutive down-regulation of liguleless alleles in sorghum drives increased productivity and water use efficiency. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JSummary Plant architecture influences the microenvironment throughout the canopy layer. Plants with a more erect leaf architecture allow for an increase in planting densities and allow more light to reach lower canopy leaves. This is predicted to increase crop carbon assimilation.
