Building a better grapevine model
A new perennial fruit crop accurately depicts phenology, light interception, carbohydrate allocation and reserve dynamics, and yield components.
Computer Modelling of Crop Alignments Could Fight Weeds in an Environmentally Way
Light interception is closely related to canopy architecture. Few studies based on multi-view photography have been conducted in a field environment, particularly studies that link 3D plant architecture with a radiation...

Complex interplay of responses when plants experience canopy shading
Plants react to both decreased red:far red ratio and decreased photosynthetically active radiation, and in different ways.

Predicting photosynthetic productivity of intercropping systems with image-based reconstruction
Intercropping systems contain two or more species simultaneously in close proximity. Due to contrasting features of the component crops, quantification of the light environment and photosynthetic productivity remains...

Revising Corner’s rule: how to best partition twig leaf area
Corner’s rule states that in woody plants, twigs (current-year shoots) with thicker stems support larger leaves. Larger leaf areas require thicker twigs for hydraulic and mechanical support, but a question remains...

Nitrogen addition and harvest frequency rather than initial plant species composition, determine vertical structure and light interception in permanent grasslands
Recent biodiversity experiments using sown plant communities suggest a positive effect of plant species diversity on ecosystem functioning and resource use. However, are these experimental results applicable to...

Modelling fruit temperature dynamics in apple
Although fruit temperature is known to be a key parameter involved in fruit quality, sunburn injury and pest development, no specific modelling approach to it has been developed. Saudreau et al. generate a model based...
