Abstract :
Context: Architectural studies highlight recurrent morphogenetical gradients that are observed on some tree species. These morphogenetical gradients are linked to morphological trends among successive shoots throughout plant structure and ontogeny. This study aims at testing a potential origin of these gradients as the complex result of some core plant functions. It will be achieved through a minimalist mathematical modelling approach.
