Evaluating Photosynthetic Light Response Models for Leaf Photosynthetic Traits in Paddy Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) Under Field Conditions by Xinfeng Yao, Huifeng Sun, Sheng Zhou, Linyi Li

“…This study aimed to compare the performance of nine LRC models in fitting a set of 108 LRCs measured from paddy rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) grown in field across 3 years under different leaf positions, leaf ages, nitrogen levels, irrigation levels, and varieties. The shape of 108 LRCs varies significantly under a range of leaf traits, which can be typed into three leaf light-acclimation types—high-light leaves (HL-1 and HL-2), and low-light leaves (LL). …”
