From stable rules to complex shapes in plant modelling
How can models capture the complexity and variation of plant phenotypes? Vidal and Andrieu have taken a look at maize.

Variations in leaf growth parameters within the tree structure of adult Coffea arabica
The dynamics and distribution of plant leaf area are results of synchronization in phyllochron, leaf expansion, life span, axes emergency and senescence within the branching structure.

The phyllochron of peach trees varies with shoot type and irrigation
The addition of new nodes to shoots is an essential mechanism for understanding and modelling canopy growth but surprisingly, there is very little research on the factors that control the phyllochron in tree species. It...

Phytomer development in a C4 grass
The morphology of almost all grasses can be conceptualized as a hierarchical arrangement of subunits, termed phytomers. Therefore, knowledge of phytomer growth and development serves as a basis to elucidate the rhythm...
