Leaf rolling and leaf angle improve fog capturing and transport in wheat; adaptation for drought stress in an arid climate
Abstract Background Plants use different mechanisms to transport the collected fog water. Leaf traits of wheat play an important role in directing fog water through leaf rolling and leaf angle into the root zone, where it can be stored for consumption. Wheat leaf traits can enhance fog capturing und...
