Abstract
Based on extensive observations and quantitative analyses on leaf sheath and internode growth processes with different variety types, a dynamic model was developed to simulate time-course growth characters of leaf sheath and internode in wheat. The growth dynamics of leaf sheath and internode were described using the Logistic model, the internode length was simulated with the relationship between leaf sheath length and corresponding internode length, and the internode thickness was quantified using the relationship between internode thickness and corresponding internode length. The results of model validation showed that the mean RMSEs of leaf sheath length, internode length and thickness were 1.34 cm, 1.71 cm and 0.06cm, respectively, which indicated a good performance of the model in prediction of leaf sheath and internode growth dynamics in wheat.
