Table 2.
Dry weights (DW) of plants which were simulated by the model after 32 days of cultivation at various combinations of light intensity and duration of illumination during the day. Relative DW was calculated as a percentage from the control DW in plants cultivated under 16 h (light):8 h (dark) illumination regime.
