Towards a Robust Method of Modelling Leaf Appearance in Plants [PDF]
The thermal interval for leaf tip appearance (phyllochron) is a critical variable for modelling plant development and growth. Phyllochron varies across environments, but is generally constant for a species grown in specific environments. For example, the

Our hypothesis is that forage sorghum modifies its growth and phyllochron when submitted to different cutting managements. Our objective is to evaluate if different cutting managements modify the growth and phyllochron of forage sorghum.

Response of seeding rate and cultivar maturity with planting dates in canola
Abstract Understanding whether increasing seeding rate in canola (Brassica napus) provides a yield‐compensatory mechanism with delayed planting due to weather or logistical issues is important. We aim to refine agronomic recommendations for canola production under short‐season growing conditions to establish an optimal planting date and identify any ...

FSPM-P: towards a general functional-structural plant model for robust and comprehensive model development [PDF]
In the last decade, functional-structural plant modelling (FSPM) has become a more widely accepted paradigm in crop and tree production, as 3D models for the most important crops have been proposed.

Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in Kenya has witnessed a decline attributed to the effects of climate change and biophysical constraints. The assessment of agronomic practices across agroecological zones (AEZs) is limited by inadequate data quality, hindering a precise evaluation of maize yield on a large scale. In this study, we employed the

Developmental patterns of a large set of barley (Hordeum vulgare) cultivars in response to ambient temperature [PDF]
Ambient temperature plays an important role in plant development. In cereals, little is known about the exact effects of ambient temperature in the range between it being a vernalising agent and an abiotic stress factor; thus the genetic determinants ...

Using a hierarchical segmented model to assess the dynamics of leaf appearance in plant populations. [PDF]
International audienceModeling inter-individual variability in plant populations is a key issue to enhance the predictive capacity of plant growth models at field level. In sugar beet, this variability is well illustrated by the phyllochron (thermal time

Building the foundations of a Coffea arabica FSPM. [PDF]
Highlights: Several data sets are being gathered to build a functional-structural model for Coffea arabica. The one pitfall in this integration process is the difficulty of calibrating a large number of parameters.

The qTSN positive effect on panicle and flag leaf Size of rice is associated with an early down-regulation of tillering [PDF]
The qTSN4 was identified as rice QTL (Quantitative Traits Locus) increasing total spikelet number per panicle and flag leaf area but potentially reducing panicle number depending on the environment.
