Popis: A model of the wheat plant is described which consists of two components, the grain and storage material. Photosynthesis supplies further substrate to the store, from which material is used for grain growth at a rate that depends on the substrate level. The model allows predictions of grain dry weight at maturity and its dependence on total post-anthesis dry matter production, and leads to an interpretation of the source-sink interactions in this situation.
