Growth Rate Modeling
Overview
Growth rate modeling uses repeated measurements over time to quantify how plants develop—capturing dynamic processes (daily growth, stress-induced growth suppression, recovery) that single time-point assays miss. Temporal phenotyping supports mechanistic understanding of growth, comparative genotype profiling, and predictive modeling.
1. Comparing growth dynamics among genotypes under control and stress
2. Early screening for vigor or growth suppression in breeding nurseries
3. Modeling biomass trajectories to predict yield
4. Evaluating effects of management practices (fertilizer, light regimes) on growth curves
5. Parameterizing growth models for crop simulation studies
