Six hypothetical plant prototypes were computer-generated # M6 `+ }2 G0 y; @10 so that each prototype was equal to each other in all aspects; only the leaf shape for each _& s+ z& y!

inverted triangle (ITR), ellipse (EL) and lobe (LB). Computer simulations revealed that leaf " P$ s9 W. c5 h, mshape did have an effect on direct and diffuse solar radiation interception. However, its effect; q# R2 u& b1 c* C
was to a rather small extent of not more than 11% increase in solar radiation interception. The 6 Q0 l0 z. ]9 w. {15 mean hourly interception of solar radiation by the prototypes decreased in the following % L# x5 R* r2 E/ b' r3 wmanner: (ITR ≈ EL) > (RD ≈ SQ ≈ TR ≈ LB). Although leaf lobbing is often hypothesised to # Z/ d' k2 A: {2 B- Pproduce deeper sunflecks within the canopy, this study however revealed that leaf lobbing per 7 R+ J' \4 J, O5 B+ sse had no effect on solar radiation interception.

interception could be increased by having leaf shapes that are: 1) long and narrow, 2) broader at 4 i* K4 h* I0 z' h9 A x$ Q20 the apex than at the basal, and 3) supported by leaf petioles. These three conditions increase 1 R6 }, r9 K!
