Using Lindenmayer Systems to Model Morphogenesis in A Tropical Pasture Legume Stylosanthes Scabra
CANADIAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY-REVUE CANADIENNE DE BOTANIQUE(1999)
Abstract
This paper summarizes the processes involved in designing a mathematical model of a growing pasture plant, Stylosanthes scabra Vog. cv. Fitzroy. The model is based on the mathematical formalism of Lindenmayer systems and yields realistic computer-generated images of progressive plant geometry through time. The processes involved in attaining growth data, retrieving useful growth rules, and constructing a "virtual plant" model are outlined. Progressive output morphological data proved useful for predicting total leaf area and allowed for easier quantification of plant canopy size in terms of biomass and total leaf area.Key words: Lindenmayer systems, modelling, Stylosanthes, morphogenesis, plant form.
