virtualleaf

Overview VirtualLeaf is a cell-based computer-modeling framework for plant tissue morphogenesis. The current version defines a set of biologically-intuitive C++ objects, including cells, cell walls, and diffusing and reacting chemicals, that provide useful abstractions for building biological simulations of developmental processes. VirtualLeaf-based models provide a means for plant researchers to analyze the function of developmental genes in the context of the biophysics of growth and patterning. The VirtualLeaf runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Papers on VirtualLeaf If you use VirtualLeaf in your work, please cite our paper Merks, R. M. H., Guravage, M., Inzé, D., & Beemster, G. T. S. (2011).
