Abstract

We present botanically-inspired simulations of cell growth and division. The simulations abstract cells as polygons with visco-elastic cell walls that confine a pressurized fluid. Cell growth and division depends on the concentration of a growth hormone that is produced in a set of prescribed cells and diffuses throughout the system. We present a variety of patterns and textures in the resulting cell formations.
