**3.3 Plant growth reconstruction**

Using the estimated hidden GreenLab parameters in recovering the series of LAI, one can simulate the dynamics of biomass production and partitioning, as shown in Fig. 6(a), and the 3D model of the observed plants, as shown in Fig. 6(b). As for a maize plant, Fig. 6(a) gives the total plant biomass (g) in black line, and the allocation to leaf blade (green), sheath (blue), internode (brown), cob (red) and male flower (purple). Recall that empirical geometrical parameters are used in building the 3D structure.
