From: Tailoring parameter distributions to specific germplasm: impact on crop model-based ideotyping
Results of the sensitivity analysis performed with the variance-based method of Sobol’27 using literature-derived (a) and germplasm-specific (b) parameter distributions. Results for both current conditions (baseline, white bars) and climate change scenarios centred in 2030 are reported (light and dark grey bars: RCP2.6-GISS-ES and RCP8.5-GISS-ES, respectively; striped and black bars: RCP2.6-HadGEM2 and RCP8.5-HadGEM2, respectively). T-HeatSter, T-ColdSter, T-Chalkiness and T-HeadRice (°C) are threshold temperatures for heat- and cold-induced spikelet sterility, and for chalkiness and grain breakage, respectively. BlastRes (1 to 3, unitless) is resistance to blast, RUE (g MJ−1) is radiation use efficiency, k (unitless) is extinction coefficient for solar radiation, and SLAini and SLAtill (m2 kg−1) are specific leaf area at emergence and at tillering.
