Quantitative Trait Loci for Rice Phyllochron in Lemont × IR36 Cross
In rice, genetic variation in “phyllochron” (the time interval between the appearance of successive leaves) affects many aspects of shoot system development.

Estimated phyllochron in low tunnel cultivated strawberry cultivars [PDF]
: The aim of this study was to determine phyllochron in strawberry cultivars, from two origins during two crop years, conducted in low tunnel. Experiments were conducted at the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, campus Frederico Westphalen (CESNORS ...

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 ...

Improvement in Brazilian barley breeding: Changes in developmental phases and ecophysiological traits [PDF]
Despite recognizing the importance of genetic improvement in the production of barley grains, little information is available on the contribution of phenological development to the genetic improvement of Brazilian barley.

Dynamics of apex and leaf development in barley as affected by PPD-H1 alleles in two contrasting PHYC backgrounds under short or long photoperiod [PDF]
Barley development from seedling to flowering involves both external and internal changes, the latter requiring microscopic observation. Internal changes allow for the classification of preflowering development into three phases: vegetative, early ...

Phyllochron responds to acclimation to temperature and irradiance in maize [PDF]
Crop models need accurate simulation of leaf canopy development. The thermal interval for leaf tip appearance (phyllochron) is critical for predicting the duration of vegetative development. The phyllochron in maize is shorter in temperate than in tropical and subtropical environments.

Phyllochron and leaf appearance rate in oat [PDF]
Abstract Phyllochron and leaf appearance rate are both important parameters in the production efficiency of agricultural crops. The objectives of this study were to determine the phyllochron and leaf appearance rate in 4 oat cultivars (Avena sativa L.) in 3 sowing dates and verify the variability of phyllochron and leaf appearance rate among cultivars ...

Effect of cultivar and year on phyllochron in winter barley [PDF]
Development and growth of leaves in cereals significantly affects grain yield since dry matter accumulation depends on the leaf area that intercepts light. Phyllochron (PHY) is defined as time interval between the emergences of successive leaves

Accuracy of Equations Predicting the Phyllochron of Wheat
Predicting the rate of leaf appearance, or phyllochron, aids in understanding and modeling grass development and growth. Nine equations predicting the phyllochron of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were evaluated using field data from a variety of locations, cultivars, and management practices.
