Identification of leaves and tillers on wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) plants and determination of their relative stage of leaf development is useful in detecting environmental stresses in seedlings. This paper describes a number of criteria which can be used to identify leaves, tillers, and subtillers on cereals when lower leaves have been lost.
