GWAS combined with QTL mapping reveals the genetic loci of leaf morphological characters in Nicotiana tabacum

Abstract Background Leaf morphology plays a crucial role in photosynthetic efficiency and yield potential in crops. Cigar tobacco plants, which are derived from common tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), possess special leaf characteristics including thin and delicate leaves with few visible veins, maki...
