Genetic variability for leaf area, chlorophyll content, leaf aroma and grain yield/plant of fifteen aromatic rice genotypes was studied. Chlorophyll content was not related with leaf aroma. Although leaf area failed to establish any significant contribution to grain yield in the study, but positive and significant correlation of chlorophyll content with yield confirmed its role towards sink development.
