As our knowledge of the complexity of hormone homeostasis, transport, perception, and
response increases, and their outputs become less intuitive, modelling is set to become …

Observable morphological traits are widely employed in plant phenoty** for breeding use,
which are often the external phenotypes driven by a chain of functional actions in plants …

We present a method for generating realistic models of temperate-climate trees and shrubs.
This method is based on the biological hypothesis that the form of a develo** tree …

The study of plant development requires increasingly powerful modeling tools to help
understand and simulate the growth and functioning of plants. In the last decade, the …

Optimization of expensive computer models with the help of Gaussian process emulators is
now commonplace. However, when several (competing) objectives are considered …

Highlights•Optimisation of the robotic arm structure for apple picking task is considered.•Fruit
picking time depends on the robot structure and its working environment.•Different tree …

We know that fruit production, especially in the Mediterranean, will need to adapt to climate
change to ensure the sustainability of fruit tree-based agroecosystems. However, there is a …

As any epidemic on plants is driven by the amount of susceptible tissue, and the distance
between organs, any modification in the host population, whether quantitative or qualitative …

Climate change is becoming an observed reality, very likely due to the increase of
anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentration. Since a few decades, several research teams …
