A stochastic, functional-structural model for cotton plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cotton is one of the most important cash crops in the world and a few specific models have been built to simulate and predict cotton plants growth and development, such as L-OZCOT (Hanan and Hearn, 2003). The functional-structural GREENLAB model aims at simulating topological and morphological growth processes at organ scale for general plants (Yan et al., 2004). It has been used to investigate the effects of branch pruning on the source-sink balance of cotton plants, where the deterministic development of plant architectures was considered (Li et al., 2009).

Modelling cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) with L-systems: A template model for incorporating physiology
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has a complex architecture resulting from an intricate pattern of development, which strongly influences its ability to capture resources. Computational modelling can play a part in increasing our understanding of the processes intrinsic to the cotton cropping system at the level of individual branches, leaves and bolls. Such studies may be made for many different...
متن کاملBiosorption of hexavalent Chromium by the agricultural wastes of the cotton and barberry plants
Hexavalent chromium, a highly toxic metal ion employed in industrial activities, is considered as a first priority pollutant. In this study, the capsule walls of the boll of cotton (cotton waste, CW) and the waste obtained from pruning barberry bushes (barberry waste, BW) were investigated as cheap and locally available adsorbents for Cr (VI) removal. The adsorption behavior, equilibrium, and k...
متن کاملStochastic functional population dynamics with jumps
In this paper we use a class of stochastic functional Kolmogorov-type model with jumps to describe the evolutions of population dynamics. By constructing a special Lyapunov function, we show that the stochastic functional differential equation associated with our model admits a unique global solution in the positive orthant, and, by the exponential martingale inequality with jumps, we dis...
متن کاملPredicting the effects of environment and management on cotton fibre growth and quality: a functional–structural plant modelling approach
In general, the quality of fruits depends on local conditions experienced by the fruit during its development. In cotton, fruit quality, and more specifically the quality of the fibre in the fruit, depends on interactions between fruit position in the plant architecture, temperature and agronomic practices, such as sowing time, mulching with plastic film and topping of the plant's main stem and...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of cotton genes responsive to Verticillium dahliae through bioinformatics and reverse genetics strategies
Verticillium wilt causes dramatic cotton yield loss in China. Although some genes or biological processes involved in the interaction between cotton and Verticillium dahliae have been identified, the molecular mechanism of cotton resistance to this disease is still poorly understood. The basic innate immune response for defence is somewhat conserved among plant species to defend themselves in c...
