Abstract: In recently, more and more researchers focus on the virtual plant functional-structural modeling with physiological characteristics. In this paper, a plant growth simulation algorithm is proposed based on the carton dynamics transmission and distribution within the plant organ of leaf and stem internode. In the method, plant organ growth rules are defined by using the L-systems which can easily describe the plant morphological structure and realize the algorithm with multi-
modules method. And it considers the carbon transporting and allocating within the plant organ branch growth based on plant growth unit with stem, leaf, and flowers. Plant development function of different plant organs is provided which can describe the different growth phases of the plant. The algorithm is proven that it can accurately simulate the arabidopsis growth process, and the simulation growth curve can effectively fit the actual growth curve.
