Maize leaf extension rate as a response to temperature

Description

Data on leaf extension rate as a response to meristem temperature in maize. The data are re-created liberally from Walls, W.R., 1971. Role of temperature in the regulation of leaf extension in Zea mays. Nature, 229: 46-47. The data points are not the same as in the original paper. Some additional points were inserted to fill in the blanks and allow for reasonable parameter estimates

Usage
