Event Description
- Full Description:
- Dr Alex Wu, will present a seminar titled 'Stimulating crop improvement with plant/crop models'.
Abstract:
Leaf photosynthetic processes underpin plant resources conversion efficiency, which are key for boosting crop growth and yield. However, the link between photosynthetic enhancement and yield is not straightforward due to confounding feedback effects arising from interactions with crop growth and development dynamics, and the prevailing environment.
This presentation showcases an advanced plant/crop model that addresses the biological complexities for assessing whole-crop consequences of leaf photosynthetic manipulation; and demonstrates how experimentation with crop growth and development dynamics simulation helps to unravel yield responses and generates insight to further enhance photosynthetic mechanisms and lift yield performance.
