Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies (2018)
Journal Article
Retkute, R., Townsend, A. J., Murchie, E. H., Jensen, O. E., & Preston, S. P. (2018). Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies. Annals of Botany, 122(2), 291–302. https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcy067

Background and Aims Diurnal changes in solar position and intensity combined with the structural complexity of plant architecture result in highly variable and dynamic light patterns within the plant canopy. This affects productivity through the comp... Read More about Three-dimensional plant architecture and sunlit-shaded patterns: a stochastic model of light dynamics in canopies.

Suboptimal acclimation of photosynthesis to light in wheat canopies (2018)
Journal Article
Townsend, A. J., Retkute, R., Chinnathambi, K., Randall, J. W., Foulkes, J. F., Carmo-Silva, E., & Murchie, E. H. (in press). Suboptimal acclimation of photosynthesis to light in wheat canopies. Plant Physiology, 176(2), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.17.01213

Photosynthetic acclimation (photoacclimation) is the process whereby leaves alter their morphology and/or biochemistry to optimise photosynthetic efficiency and productivity according to long-term changes in the light environment. Three-dimensional (... Read More about Suboptimal acclimation of photosynthesis to light in wheat canopies.
