StemElongating

The StemElongating phase in Wheat represents the developmental period from MaximumSpikeletPrimordia to FlagLeafAppearance. The Final leaf number is fixed at Terminal Spikelet and leaves continue to appear at a rate set by thermal time and phyllochron until flag leaf ligule appears and this phase is completed.

Overview

The LeafAppearancePhase model simulates the time between the MaximumSpikeletPrimordia and FlagLeafAppearance stages.

• This phase starts at MaximumSpikeletPrimordia and ends at FlagLeafAppearance.
• The Final leaf number is fixed at Terminal Spikelet (i.e. stage MaximumSpikeletPrimordia) and leaves continue to appear at a rate set by thermal time and phyllochron until flag leaf ligule appears and this phase is completed.
