Abstract :
The virtual plant is a research area which develops rapidly along with the development of computer simulation technology, it has become the research hot spot in computer graphics, agriculture information technology and virtual teaching. In the paper, we apply the fractal theory in simulating plants growth process on computer. The constructed plant model can reflect the realistic plants´ shape structure and its physiological phenomenon. The timer is used to realize the dynamic control of virtual plants´ growth. The visualization model of virtual plants´ dynamic growth is applied to the biological teaching, and we obtain a satisfactory result
