Abstract: BACKGROUND Functional-structural plant models (FSPMs) explore and integrate relationships between a plant's structure and processes that underlie its growth and development. In the last twenty years, scientists interested in functional-structural plant modelling have expanded greatly… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Because functional-structural plant models (FSPMs) take plant architecture explicitly into consideration, they constitute a promising approach for unravelling plant-plant interactions in complex canopies. However, existing FSPMs mainly address competition for light. The… read more here.

Abstract: Fluctuating asymmetry in plant leaves is a widely used measure in geometric morphometrics for assessing random deviations from perfect symmetry. In this study, we considered the concept of fluctuating asymmetry to improve the prototype leaf… read more here.
