Many of the QTLs in this cluster are associated with tillering and leaf angle traits.
These 14 associations representing 10 unique SNPs from the promoter, exon, intron, and 5′UTR regions of PtoCesA4 were significantly associated with seven phenotypic traits, excluding fiber length and microfibril angle traits (Table 3).

Several teams have studied the genetic control of root cone angle and related traits in rice (Norton and Price 2009; Uga et al. 2012, 2013, 2013, 2015, 2015; Hanzawa et al. 2013; Kitomi et al. 2015; Lou et al. 2015).
Children were diagnosed with 'severe malocclusion' if they possessed one or more of the following traits: Angle Class III, overbite >3 mm, overjet >5 mm, impinging bite, open bite, anterior crossbite, posterior crossbite, scissor bite, ectopic eruption of first molar, or crowding >4 mm.
Genetic variation at the ligueless genes is associated with leaf angle, an important agronomic trait.
The root cone angle is an important trait because it largely determines the volume of soil that a plant explores.
To identify the loci responsible for the very wide root cone angle, assuming that this trait can be controlled by a major gene, we tested other approaches using only the GBS dataset since phenotypic and genotypic data were available for 10 of the extreme accessions compared with only 8 in the HDRA dataset.
Also, for spiral grain angle, which is a trait closely connected to the twist propensity of sawed timber during drying (Dinwoodie 2000; Warensjö and Rune 2004), a number of influential QTL (two significant and three suggestive) were observed.
