Leaf growth analysis of different vetiver grass populations

Leaves of introduced, wild and domesticated cultivation vetiver population were analysed with large sampling. The results showed that there were differences in tiller height, leaf biomass and percentage of leaf biomass among four populations. There were also differences in leaf development and growth processes including leaf length, and ratio of leaf width to length. But the same power function explained the relationships between different leaf characteristics. These results indicate that leaves of four populations have the same convergent biomass growth pattern and convergent leaf growth processes.
