Growth of the root tip is modeled using a one-dimensional string of cells. Each cell is characterized by three distinct phases, division, elongation-only or maturity. In this model two hypothetical phytohormones, one produced at the root tip and the other at the shoot, determine the behavior of the
One method for the synthesis of object shapes is by using physical laws. A continuum mechanics-based model of growth is proposed here. An energy functional, a function of the shape of an elastic object, is defined. At every instant of the growth process, the shape of the object corresponds to a mini
