Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Plant draw internodes group

Internode front face color: The color of the internodes of this plant. (Note that back face color for internodes is ignored.)

Internode back face color: This parameter is not used in this version of the simulation.

Internode can recover from stunting at creation: If 'yes', the internode attempts to grow after it has been created to achieve the optimal biomass for an internode. If 'no', internodes can never grow in biomass after they are created (though they can expand through water uptake).

Internode flexibility index: This parameter is not used in this version of the simulation.

Internode curving index: A parameter between 0 and 100 that determines how much stems curve around as they grow. A corn plant would have a curving index of zero; a cucumber plant would have a larger curving index.

Internode length at optimal biomass and full expansion: The length of an internode of this plant when the internode has the optimal internode biomass and when it has expanded to its full size from water uptake.

Internode length increase due to biomass increase, multiplier: The amount of internode length expansion (from creation to full size) that is due to increase in internode biomass (and not water uptake). This will be used to determine internode lengthening in relation to biomass increase and water uptake.

Internode length increase due to water uptake, multiplier: The amount of internode length expansion (from creation to full size) that is due to water uptake (and not increase in internode biomass). This will be used to determine internode lengthening in relation to biomass increase and water uptake.

Internode length increase due to bolting, multiplier: The number of times longer internodes become because of bolting. This occurs mainly in plants that flower in the second year such as carrots.

Internode maximum days for meristem to create: The number of days a vegetative meristem will accumulate biomass towards creation of an internode before it gives up and creates the internode. This simulates the plant's concentration of resources on newer meristems.

Internode maximum days to bolt: The number of days an internode will attempt to reach the length it should have after bolting before it gives up and stops elongating (bolting can be slowed by water stress).

Internode maximum days to expand by water uptake: The number of days an internode will attempt to expand due to water uptake before it gives up and stops elongating (expansion due to water uptake can be slowed by water stress).

Internode maximum days to grow: The number of days an internode will accumulate biomass towards the optimal internode biomass before it gives up and stops growing. This simulates the plant's concentration of resources on newer plant parts.

Internode minimum days for meristem to create: The shortest number of days in which a vegetative meristem can create an internode, no matter how much biomass is available. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of growth.

Internode minimum days to bolt: The shortest number of days in which an internode can reach its full bolted length, no matter how much water is taken up. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of expansion.

Internode minimum days to expand by water uptake: The shortest number of days in which an internode can reach its normal expansion due to water uptake, no matter how much water is taken up. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of expansion.

Internode minimum days to grow: The shortest number of days in which an internode can grow to the optimal internode biomass, no matter how much biomass is available. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of growth.

Internode minimum fraction of optimal biomass needed to create: The smallest fraction of the optimal (best) amount of internode biomass that must be accumulated before a vegetative meristem can create an internode.

Internode optimal final biomass: The biomass (dry weight) of a complete or best internode.

Internode width at optimal biomass and expansion: The width of an internode of this plant when the internode has the optimal internode biomass and when it has expanded to its full size from water uptake.

Internode width increase by biomass increase, multiplier: The amount of internode width expansion (from creation to full size) that is due to increase in internode biomass (and not water uptake). This will be used to determine internode thickening in relation to biomass increase and water uptake.

Internode width increase by water uptake, multiplier: The amount of internode width expansion (from creation to full size) that is due to water uptake (and not increase in internode biomass). This will be used to determine internode thickening in relation to biomass increase and water uptake.
