Parameters for the sigmoidal growth models of the growth unit axes, leaves and inflorescence axes
| Botanical entity | Base temperature T (°C) | Growth duration TTSS (°Cd) | t ip (°Cd) | B (°Cd) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Growth unit axis | 9.2 | 178.8 | 89.4 | 22.4 |
| Leaf | 10.7 | 182.0 | 91.0 | L/(0.06 L–0.08) (13) |
| Inflorescence axis | 11.1 | 346.0 | 136.6 | 50.9 |
t ip is the time of maximum growth rate and B is a slope parameter [see eqn (14)]. For the leaf growth model, the parameter B depends on the final leaf length L.
