Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Light interception is a critical factor in the production of biomass. The study presented here describes a method used to take account of architectural changes over time in sunflower and to estimate absorbed light at the organ level. METHODS: The amount of photosynthetically...
