Predicted and observed leaf number distribution: model validation using genotype FL027 in year 2015 as an example. Left: the top graph shows the distribution of the number of visible leaves LN(t) predicted by the model at t within each ATT (Accumulated Thermal Time) interval. The bottom graph shows the distribution of the observed LN(t) measured in all plants of the genotype in that year within each ATT interval. Each color corresponds to a leaf rank within the range of modeled leaf ranks. White bars correspond to non-modelled leaf ranks. Vertical dashed lines were added to facilitate the visual comparison of the two graphs. Right: each point represents the proportion of observations of a given leaf rank within a given ATT interval as a function of its predicted counterpart. Leaf ranks are color coded; the dashed line is \(y=x\)
