Interactions between nitrogen nutrition, canopy architecture and photosynthesis in rice, assessed using high-resolution 3D reconstruction (2020)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Herman, T., Ali, A., & Murchie, E. H. (2021). Interactions between nitrogen nutrition, canopy architecture and photosynthesis in rice, assessed using high-resolution 3D reconstruction. in silico Plants, 3(1), Article diaa017. https://doi.org/10.1093/insilicoplants/diaa017

Increasing nitrogen use efficiency is a key target for yield improvement programs. Here we identify features of rice canopy architecture during altered N availability and link them to photosynthetic productivity. Empirical mathematical modelling, hig...
