Abstract excerpt

Growth rate, a fundamental trait associated with plant resource use, scales with plant mass, following consistent allometric power laws shaped by biophysical constraints and natural selection captured in metabolic scaling theory (MST). Although well-established in wild plants, MST has been overlooked in crop improvement. We quantified the relationship between individual plant mass and growth rate in 195 European...
