Efficiency increase of resources through automation of agriculture requires more information
about the production process, as well as process and machinery status. Sensors are …

Plants react to their environment and to management interventions by adjusting
physiological functions and structure. Functional–structural plant models (FSPM), combine …

The size and activity of the shoot apical meristem is regulated by transcription factors and
low molecular mass signals, including the plant hormone cytokinin. The cytokinin status of …

Optimizing root system architecture can overcome yield limitations in crop plants caused by
water or nutrient shortages. Classic breeding approaches are difficult because the trait is …

This paper provides synthesis methods for large-scale semantic image segmentation
datasets of agricultural scenes with the objective to bridge the gap between state-of-the art …

Abstract Background and Aims Manipulation of plant structure can strongly affect light
distribution in the canopy and photosynthesis. The aim of this paper is to find a plant …

The development of functional–structural plant models requires an increasing amount of
computer modelling. All these models are developed by different teams in various contexts …

Functional–structural plant models (FSPMs) have been evolving for over 2 decades and
their future development, to some extent, depends on the value of potential applications in …

Abstract Background and Aims At present most process-based models and the majority of
three-dimensional models include simplifications of plant architecture that can compromise …

Since the ground breaking work of Norman Borlaug in the 1960s produced large increases
in yields of our major cereal crops, we have seen a gradual decline in annual yield progress …
