Abstract. One component of the performance of plants is their capability to
intercept light. By using a functional-structural modelling approach, an
optimization model of the 3-d above-ground structure of plants is
constructed, especially for four Indonesian rice varieties. The
constructed model consists of three main clusters: rice plant, skylight,
and optimization. Virtual experiments, using the optimization method of
"simulated annealing", deliver as a result the optimized shape of each
rice variety. Twenty-one parameters of rice plant structure are
considered in the optimization process.
