Modeling of Shoot Elongation and Leaf Appearance in Potted Mulberry [PDF]
To predict mulberry growth, modeling of shoot elongation and leaf appearance of potted mulberries was attempted. Potted mulberries were grown in temperature-controlled phytotrons. Changes in the rates of mulberry shoot elongation and leaf appearance, and

Maize Leaf Appearance Rates: A Synthesis From the United States Corn Belt [PDF]
The relationship between collared leaf number and growing degree days (GDD) is crucial for predicting maize phenology. Biophysical crop models convert GDD accumulation to leaf numbers by using a constant parameter termed phyllochron (°C-day leaf−1) or ...

Spring Wheat Leaf Appearance and Temperature: Extending the Paradigm? [PDF]
Extensive research shows temperature to be the primary environmental factor controlling the phyllochron, or rate of leaf appearance, of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Experimental results suggest that soil temperature at crown depth, rather than air temperature above the canopy, would better predict wheat leaf appearance rates.

The Effect of Temperature on Leaf Appearance in Rice [PDF]
Temperature is the principal environmental determinant of crop leaf appearance. The objective of this study is to analyse whether there are different effects of day temperature (TD) and night temperature (TN) on main-stem leaf appearance in rice (Oryza sativaL.).

Variability and Synchronism of Leaf Appearance and Leaf Elongation Rates of Eleven Contrasting Rice Genotypes [PDF]
Leaf appearance and leaf elongation rates in rice play an essential role in determining the development of the plants’ architecture which affects their adaptability to varying environments. This study aimed to characterize the rates of leaf appearance and elongation on all leaves of the main culms of rice plants for 11 contrasting varieties and to ...

Simulating leaf appearance in a maize variety
The calculation of leaf appearance rate (LAR) is an important part of many crop simulation models. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare a linear model (the Phyllochron model) with a non-linear model (the Wang and Engel, WE, model) for ...

A Beta Function-Based Model for Predicting Leaf Appearance and Expansion in Romaine Lettuce
A process-based developmental model was developed to predict leaf appearance and expansion in romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) using hourly air temperature and daily light integral as environmental inputs.

An analysis of leaf growth in sugar beet.
SUMMARYThe influence of season, and certain agronomic treatments (irrigation, nitrogen fertiliser, density of planting and sowing date) on leaf number were analysed in a series of sugar‐beet crops grown during the five seasons 1978‐82. Leaf appearance was a linear function of thermal time (accumulated temperature above 1°C) and could be described by ...
