From greenhouse climate to individual leaves: an organ-resolved model of lettuce growth
Greenhouse climate management aims to improve crop production while limiting energy use. This requires knowing how a crop will respond before conditions are changed. A crop digital twin can support this decision only if it represents how plant physiology and structure develop together. A unified framework was developed to simulate lettuce growth from the physiology of individual leaves. Each leaf received the conditions at its position in the canopy and contributed carbon through photosynthesis. Part of this carbon was used for maintenance and the remainder supported growth, distributed among leaves by their age, size and local environment. The predicted leaf mass, area and age generated ...
