Decoding living systems: Reassessing crop model frontiers via biological dynamics and optimized phenotype
Fig 2
Genetic coefficients in CERES-Rice organized by physiological function: phenological development (P1, P2O, P2R, P5), source-sink partitioning (PHINT, G1, G2, G3), and thermal stress thresholds (THOT, TCLDP, TCLDF).
Parameter interdependencies create a high-dimensional optimization landscape where sensitivity analysis guides parameter selection for genetic algorithm exploration.
