 Practical Procedural Modeling of Plants
22.01.2003 - Universität Bremen

So do plants know math?

  • New plant organs always develop at the tip of
    the supporting organ (Meristem)


  • Douady and Couder's model
  • Hofmeister principles
    • new buds form periodically
      in the place around the central
      disk where it is least crowded by
      other buds
    • Once they form, the dots move
      radially away from the center
