3D phytomer-based geometric modelling method for plants-the case of maize.

ABSTRACT: Geometric plant modelling is crucial in in silico plants. Existing geometric modelling methods have focused on the topological structure and basic organ profiles, simplifying the morphological features. However, the models cannot effectively differentiate cultivars, limiting FSPM application in crop breeding and management. This study proposes a 3D phytomer-based geometric modelling method with maize (Zea Mays) as the representative plant. Specifically, conversion methods between skeleton and mesh models of 3D phytomer are specified. This study describes the geometric modelling of maize shoots and populations by assembling 3D phytomers. Results show that the method can quickly and efficiently construct 3D models of maize plants and populations, with the ability to show morpho
