| Quantifying the relevance of different plant traits for yield and quality under different growth conditions can improve the efficiency of a breeding programme. Crop models are powerful tools to give guidance to breeding, because model calculations enable the analysis of many different situations (sensitivity analysis and scenario studies). Three case studies of using crop growth models to evaluate physiological traits potentially used in breeding programmes are presented. The models used are explanatory models, with several submodels; e.g., for light interception, leaf photosynthesis, organ formation and biomass partitioning. Case study 1: It is hypothesized that yield improvement of cut chrysanthemum can be obtained by a higher specific leaf area (SLA) or... |
