Article Title: Reductions in biomass accumulation, photosynthesis in situ and net carbon balance are the costs of protecting Vitis vinifera ‘Semillon’ grapevines from heat stress with shade covering

doi: 10.1093/aobpla/plr023

Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes in dry weight accumulation of leaves, stems and bunches and the total biomass as indicated of shoots across the growing season on Semillon vines grown in an irrigated vineyard without (A) and with shade covering (B) and averaged over two growing seasons (means ± SE, n = 18–36). The lines are the Boltzmann sigmoid function fitted to the data. Also shown is the total biomass after harvest of the bunches. Flowering occurred at about 40 DAB and veraison at about 90 DAB.

Article Snippet: The Boltzmann sigmoid curve was fitted using Origin V8.1 (OriginLab Corporation, Northampton, MA, USA) to biomass accumulation of the different vine components in accordance with .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Kinetic parameters of the growth patterns of Semillon vines. Parameters derived from fitting the Boltzmann function to the accumulation of biomass of each individual component of Semillon shoots averaged over two growing seasons with and without shade covering. The maximum mass is determined as the upper asymptote, timing of maximum growth was the inflexion point and duration was the window of the maximum growth rate (see Seleznyova and Greer (2001) for further details).
