The Artificial Life of Plants
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 [61]. The new developments include: a better understanding of theoretical issues pertinent to graphical applications of Lsystems, extensions to programming techniques based on L-systems, and a...
متن کاملArtificial motion by growth: how plants can inspire a new generation of robots
Barbara Mazzolai*, Lucia Beccai Center for Micro-BioRobotics, Italian Institute of Technology, Pontedera, Italy [email protected] Although plants lack muscles, they generate many different kinds of movement in a timescale spanning from days to milliseconds (Forterre, 2013). Moreover, plants have the capability to respond to a wide range of signals. In fact, being sessile, one way plants a...
متن کاملArtificial microRNA-mediated virus resistance in plants.
RNA silencing in plants is a natural defense system against foreign genetic elements including viruses. This natural antiviral mechanism has been adopted to develop virus-resistant plants through expression of virus-derived double-stranded RNAs or hairpin RNAs, which in turn are processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) by the host's RNA silencing machinery. While these virus-specific siRN...
متن کاملGrowth and Development of Wetland-grown Taro under Different Plant Populations and Seedbed Types in Uganda
Taro [Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott] is a member of the Araceace family that is a staple food for many people in developing countries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific Islands. It is widely grown in Uganda but the extent of its production and consumption is not known, partly because it has been ignored as legitimate crop for research and development (R&D), and it is managed outside the conventi...
متن کاملRiparian shading controls instream spring phytoplankton and benthic algal growth.
Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations showed a striking pattern in a multi-year study of the River Enborne, a small river in SE England. In each of three years (2010-2012), maximum DO concentrations were attained in mid-April, preceded by a period of steadily increasing diurnal amplitudes, followed by a steady reduction in both amplitude and concentration. Flow events during the reduction period...
