VPlants

Keywords: Bioinformatics - Biology

Functional Description: Computer algorithms and tools developed by the Virtual Plants team are integrated in the common software suite V-Plants, dedicated to the modeling and analysis of plant development at different scales (e.g. cellular tissue, whole plant, stand). The VPlants packages are integrated into OpenAlea as Python components. General-purpose components (such as PlantGL, MTGs, L-Py) are distributed with the OpenAlea platform and usable through the visual programming environment VisuAlea.
