Increasing leaf vein density by mutagenesis: laying the foundations for C4 rice.

Increasing leaf vein density by mutagenesis: laying the foundations for C4 rice.

A high leaf vein density is both an essential feature of C4 photosynthesis and a foundation trait to C4 evolution, ensuring the optimal proportion and proximity of mesophyll and bundle sheath cells for permitting the rapid exchange of photosynthates. Two rice mutant populations, a deletion mutant li...
