摘要:
SummaryIn an analysis of leaf development of leek plants grown in the field in 1988, successive leaves initiated, appeared (tip and ligule) and senesced at equal intervals of accumulated temperature/thermal time. These intervals corresponded to a plastochron of 92°C days and phyllochrons of 135 (tip) and 233 (ligule) °C days. The rate of appearance of ligules was exactly equal to the rate of leaf senescence, with the result that the number of fully‐expanded leaves per plant remained constant at 1.4. These data, which were compatible with results from previous seasons, were used to develop a model of the interrelationships between primordium initiation at the shoot apex and subsequent events in the development of individual leaves. Primordium initiation is considered to be the primary controlling event in the life of a leaf, and the processes of tip appearance, ligule appearance and death can be predicted from knowledge of the number of primordia which have been initiated, without reference to the environment. A model of canopy expansion, based on the central role of the shoot apex, was developed using the temperature relations of primordium initiation and additional data on leaf expansion and leaf dimensions. Leaf area indices computed in this way provided a satisfactory simulation of the thermal‐time course of leaf area index observed in a previous season,
