Visual Models of Plant Development

In these notes we survey applications of L-systems to the modeling of plants, with an emphasis on the results obtained since the comprehensive presentation of this area in The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants [99]. The new developments include: extensions to the L-system formalism that increase its expressive power as needed for practical biological applications introduction of programming constructs that enhance the use of L-systems as a language for describing developmental algorithms and as input for simulation programs, and new biological applications of L-systems.
