Abstract :
It is thought that plants have evolved to modulate the amount of light received by the leaves in order to competition for survival. Investigation of a plant shoot configuration is used to obtain valuable information concerning the received light system. As an example, it is thought that the leaves of various shape has a role important about the received light characteristics of the plant individual. In this research, we performed a numerical experiment that simulates the plant shoot by using a genetic algorithm analysis program in order to investigate the received light characteristics of a plant shoot. As a result, the relation between the placement of plant shoot of various shapes and the light-receiving amount is clarified.
