A new whole-plant framework simulates realistic water and carbon flow

CPlantBox generates a variety of 3D full plant architectures and accurately simulates water and carbon flow in the full plant.

Experimental measurements of carbon and water flow in plants can be challenging, as most available measuring methods are time-consuming and destructive, preventing the continuous observation of these flow as the plant develops. Consequently, Functional-Structural Plant Models are used to efficiently represent plant-environment interplay in silico.
