Table 4.

Influence of the temporal and structural architectural factors (columns) on individual processes of vegetative and reproductive development at the growth unit (GU) scale (rows)

Mother GU burst date Mother GU position Ancestor GU position Ancestor GU fate
Vegetative processes
 Probability of vegetative burst ** ** * *
 Probability to produce an apical daughter GU *
 Probability to produce a lateral daughter GU * *
 Number of lateral daughter GUs * * * *
 Date of vegetative burst ** *
Reproductive processes
 Probability of flowering ** ** **
 Number of inflorescences produced per flowering GU ** ** *
 Date of burst of inflorescences *
 Probability of fruiting ** * *
 Number of fruits produced per fruiting GU * *

**The factor has a significant effect (P-value <0.01) on a process during both cycles and during transitions between cycles; its influence is considered as global. *The significant effect of the factor depends on the cycle and/or on the transition between cycles; its influence is considered as partial. No *, the factor has no effect on the process.
