Table 2 List of the different models, their variation compared to the previous model, and the outcome or idea for the next model
Model no. | Variation compared to previous model | Features/limitations | Required improvements |
|---|---|---|---|
01 | Basic model | Strong HP deflection at day/night transition | Better map day/night transition |
02 | Adjusted starch synthesis and degradation (r3 and r4) | Sharp deviance of CaAa pool at day/night transition | Introduce a constant respiration rate |
03 | Constant respiration rate during day and night | Split carbon pools to converge closer to the in vivo condition | |
04 | Split carbon pool into a citrate and combined malate/fumarate pool | increased dynamics for Cit and MalFum | Interconversion of Cit and MalFum as in the TCA cycle |
05 | Interconversion between Cit and MalFum | Long simulation times (up to 8 h per simulation) | Splining of enzyme parameters to reduce simulation time |
06 | Splines for Vm values for sucrose cycling enzymes | Flat dynamics for Glc and Frc | Splining of selected enzyme parameters |
07 | Spline for SPS and Inv | Shorter simulation times (up to 4 h per simulation) | Exact distribution of excess carbon to shoot or root |
08 | Implementing the calculated SC gain | Final model |
