A Review of Research on Virtual Plants

As the combination of the science and the art,the research of the virtual plant model developed with the development of the botany and the technology of the computer.In the data collection,the laser scanner and the close-shot,which had taken the place of the manual methods,which improved the efficiency and the precision of the modeling.In the model methods,the integration of the structure and the picture was used to descript the grow procedure developed from the structure model and the picture model.In the model kinds,there were two kinds of models.The one was the functional model and the other was the non-functional model.The multiitem had been researched in the physiology and ecology,which had transcended the application in the ecology.Now the model research has been use to explore the affection of the gene on the plant growth,and the virtual plant had been probed into from three level,i.e.,micro level,individual level and the macro level.
