Fig. 7.

Relationships between simulated daily net canopy photosynthetic accumulation (ACP) and plant architectural parameters under two light conditions, strong direct light only (A–C; see Fig. 6A) and strong scattered light only (D–F; see Fig. 6F), simulated for rice cultivar XS134 under high-nitrogen treatment. The black dots with error bars show the predicted variations of ACP for 2280 plant architectures with different combinations of tiller number, tiller angle, and leaf angle. The red squares denote optimal ACP values. The mean leaf angle is the average value for all leaves on a plant. (This figure is available in colour at JXB online.)
