Barley Leaf Area and Leaf Growth Rates Are Maximized during the Pre-Anthesis Phase

Leaf developmental traits are an important component of crop breeding in small-grain cereals. Surprisingly, little is known about the genetic basis for the differences in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaf development. The two barley row-type classes, i.e., two- and six-rowed, show clear-cut differe...
