Sunflower Leaf Growth Data Under Controlled Light and Carbon Conditions

Two sunflower inbred lines were grown in greenhouse and in vitro experiments across a wide range of light intensities, photoperiods, and sucrose concentrations. The 59.8 KB dataset includes records of leaf appearance and initiation rates, light environment characterization, and carbon status indicators like stem carbohydrate concentration. Luis Aguirrezabal conducted the experiments at the Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, UNMdP in Balcarce, Argentina.

Use Cases

• Modeling leaf initiation rate (LRI) based on mean daily light integral (MDLI) and photoperiod data
• Analyzing the relationship between leaf appearance rate (LAR) and stem soluble carbohydrate concentration
• Comparing growth responses between contrasting sunflower inbred lines under isothermal conditions
• Investigating the direct effect of sucrose supply on plant carbon status independent of light

Strengths

• Experimental data from controlled greenhouse and in vitro conditions, as described
• Includes multiple measured variables: leaf appearance/initiation, light environment, and carbon status indicators
• Released under a permissive CC0-1.0 public domain license

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The 59.8 KB size indicates a limited scope, likely containing summary or processed experimental results
