Spatio-temporal modeling network on plant systems (STEMN)
From observation to theory.
|
Imagine clicking on a plant and zooming in to any level of detail. Finding links to experimental observations, to theory and above all to computable models of any or all parts of the plant. Watch growth, differentiation, responses to parasites and much more. Well, it's not yet possible. Why do it? Quite apart from educational merits it would provide evidence that all these things are properly understood and that will help society. A worthwhile goal.
