Wipfelrollen

German to English Other Agriculture Diseases of potato crops, particularly Rhizoctonia solani (black scurf)
Context: "Erfolgt der Befall (von Rh. solani) erst, wenn die Pflanzen schon weiter entwickelt sind, reagiert die Staude meistens mit Wipfelrollen sowie mit einer Faltung und Verkrümmung der oberen Blätter".

Another example: "Die Fiederblätter an der Triebspitze sind hell-gelblich verfärbt und rollen sich leicht ein (Wipfelrollen)."

An English equivalent, anyone?

curled tips

Sorry, I get no further than this...

I think that there is only a very small chance that an expression exists. Where in German Wipfelrollen is used, the English versions speak about curled leafs, curled tips, etc.
