Abstract

Branching morphology is a crucial factor in phenotype of soybeans
and the primary tissue to transport nutrients. After the acquirement of an empirical
model and distribution interval for soybeans height by nonlinear regression
analysis, we, guided by the pipe model theory, quantified the main stem, branch
and internode of soybeans using the taper stem equation and S-curve equation.
A novel L-system was finally proposed to construct the branching form by means
of the numerical nomenclature coding system and the visual simulation was performed.
This technique expanded the application fields of L-systems and offered an innovative
computational thinking and pattern in the research and application of the best
soybeans plant type design and prediction of soybeans yield, etc.
