Abstract:The responses of leaf appearance and expansion to temperature in sugar beet were measured under controlled conditions, using ruler and auxanometers, to establish a basis for a subsequent analysis of leaf growth in field crops. The studies showed that leaf appearance rate responded linearly to temperature above 1°C, that leaf expansion rate responded likewise above 3°C and that both rates were zero below these base temperatures. Auxanometer measurements of leaf extension showed that daily rates of expansion of leaf area increased linearly with the daily integral of temperature. However, hourly rates of extension in length alternated with those in width during each 24 h cycle in patterns that were not clearly related to hourly changes of temperature or to the day/night sequence.
