Maintaining grain quality of wheat under climate change is critical for human nutrition, end-
use functional properties, as well as commodity value. This paper reviews the current …

Computational plant models or 'virtual plants' are increasingly seen as a useful tool for
comprehending complex relationships between gene function, plant physiology, plant …

Background Modelling plant growth allows us to test hypotheses and carry out virtual
experiments concerning plant growth processes that could otherwise take years in field …

Increasing biological knowledge requires more and more elaborate methods to translate the
knowledge into executable model descriptions, and increasing computational power allows …

Ecophysiological models are increasingly expected to include genetic information via
genotype-dependent parameters. These parameters could be considered as quantitative …

Abstract Background and Aims Prediction of phenotypic traits from new genotypes under
untested environmental conditions is crucial to build simulations of breeding strategies to …

The size and shape of plant leaves change with growth, and an accurate description of leaf
shape is crucial for describing plant morphogenesis and development. Bilateral symmetry …

This book analyses the impact computerization has had on contemporary science and
explains the origins, technical nature and epistemological consequences of the current …

A three-step data assimilation approach is proposed in this paper to enhance crop model
predictive capacity in various environmental conditions. The most influential parameters are …

A multiscaled ecophysiological model of barley (Hordeum vulgare) development is
presented here.• The model is based on the new formalism of relational growth grammars …
