Leaf morphology, rather than plant water status, underlies genetic variation of rice leaf rolling under drought by Cal, Andrew J., Sanciangco, Millicent, Rebolledo, María Camila, Luquet, Delphine, Torres, Rolando O., McNally, Kenneth L., Henr, Amelia

“…Association mapping indicated co‐location of genomic regions for leaf rolling score and ΔNDVI under drought with previously reported leaf rolling genes and gene networks related to leaf anatomy. The relatively subtle variation across these large diversity panels may explain the lack of agreement of this study with earlier reports that used small numbers of genotypes that were highly divergent in hydraulic traits driving leaf rolling differences. …”
