Rolled leaf Upper leaves of a Rld*-N1441/+ heterozygous mutant plant showing leaf blades tightly rolled around midrib.

Rolled Leaf Selfed progeny of Rld1-N1608/+ heterozygous mutant plant showing larger heterozygotes with rolled leaves and homozygotes with small narrow tightly rolled leaves

Rolled leaf Leaf axil of Rld*-N1990/+ heterozygous mutant plant, showing abaxial flap and prolific hairs on leaf sheath margin. Leaves emerge with blades tightly rolled around midrib preventing normal plant development. Rolled leaf and abnormal development of auricle.(photo courtesy R. Bird)
