A plant is made up of components of various types and shapes. The geometrical and
topological organisation of these components defines the plant architecture. Before the early …

The model LIGNUM treats a tree as a collection of a large number of simple units that
correspond to the organs of a tree. The model describes the three-dimensional structure of …

The present study addresses the prediction of apple tree development, taking into account
both the number and within‐tree position of tree components. The architectural development …

The main objective of this paper is to present the results of a study of the interactions
between the growth and design of a tree with regards to biomechanical factors at the plant …

Numerical simulation of plant growth has been facing a bottleneck due to the cumbersome
computation implied by the complex plant topological structure. In this article, the authors …

Abstract Background and Aims AmapSim is a tool that implements a structural plant growth
model based on a botanical theory and simulates plant morphogenesis to produce accurate …

Abstract Background and Aims The dynamical system of plant growth GREENLAB was
originally developed for individual plants, without explicitly taking into account interplant …

Abstract 3D modeling of trees in real environments is a challenge in computer graphics and
computer vision, since the geometric shape and topological structure of trees are more …

A study of the formation of epicormic branches on suppressed beech trees revealed
developmental sequences that had not hitherto been studied in depth. By combining …

This book analyses the impact computerization has had on contemporary science and
explains the origins, technical nature and epistemological consequences of the current …
