【Abstract】 The research of virtual plant becomes one of the hottest areas in computer science with the development of information technique. "Virtual plants" are computer abstractions which contain sufficient spatial information for realistic images of successive growth stages to be generated. In this paper, several typical computer models and software tools of plant simulation are introduced and their distinguishing features are analyzed. Finally, the current status and the future of virtual plant research are summarized.更多还原
