Fig. 1. Images of two soybean plants (a, c) with their corresponding leafless structure (b, d). The plants are from canopies with LAIs of 4.18 (a) and 4.14 (c). Light penetrations (% per plant) are 11.0 (a) and 17.8 (c), and fractal dimensions of leafless structure are 1.45 (b) and 1.37 (d), respectively

Fig. 2. Major axis regressions fitted to each week of data separately, using Eq. [3] (a–e) and Eq. [4] (f–j). Two points overlap one another in panel e. Note that the regressor is random in a major axis regression, whereas it is fixed in a classical regression. See text (Materials and Methods section) for details about the estimation of the slope in a major axis regression without intercept. Light penetration [(I/I0) x 100] is expressed as a percentage per plant

Fig. 3. Major axis regressions fitted to the weekly means calculated across blocks, using Eq. [3] (a) and Eq. [4] (b), and to the block means calculated across weeks, using Eq. [3] (c) and Eq. [4] (d). See text (Materials and Methods section) for details
