Introduction
The important role of architecture in the understanding of plants
generates a need for investigational tools. Generic tools have already
been developed to visualize plant architecture in three dimensions, to
model the development of plant structure, to measure plant
architecture, and to analyse and quantify relations between plant
components. This paper introduces a new tool for the identification of
self-similarity within plant architectures.
