PLANTWORLD: The Evolution of Plant Dormancy in Contrasting Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evolutionary algorithms have been used to tackle many problems over the years. Here we describe a system designed to investigate ecological theories by modelling the population dynamics of evolving plants in a digital environment. The system is called PLANTWORLD.

PLANTWORLD: Population Dynamics in Contrasting Environments
PLANTWORLD was developed to examine the effects of including evolvable phenotypic behaviour in ecological models and the resultant population dynamics in contrasting (stable vs. disturbed) environments. It also demonstrates some interesting and biologically plausible feedbacks between population attributes and evolutionary dynamics. PLANTWORLD represents a state-of-the-art A-Life system for int...
متن کاملAcclimatization Potential of Dracaena Sanderiana ‘Victory’ to Contrasting Light Environments
The present study was conducted to ascertain the ability of Dracaena sanderiana ‘Victory’, a foliage plant species of commercial importance in both domestic and international markets, to thrive under contrasting light environments. The experiment was carried out inside a semi-open greenhouse in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Same sized and same aged, ready-to-ship export quality plugs of Dracaena sande...
متن کاملLeaf physiological traits and its relation with sugar beet cultivar success in two contrasting environments
The aim of this study was to identify leaf physiological traits, which could be used in selecting high yielding genotypes among 12 sugar beet cultivars grown in two contrasting pedo-climatic environments. In the stressful Site 1 (high temperatures, low rainfall, heavy-textured soil), high yielders had cooler leaves (lower ΔT) and thus, transpired (E) and photosynthesized (A) more. Also, these c...
متن کاملEarly wound reactions of Japanese maple during winter dormancy: the effect of two contrasting temperature regimes
During winter dormancy, temperate trees are capable of only a restricted response to wounding. Depending on the ambient temperature during winter dormancy, wounded trees may start compartmentalization, e.g. by producing inhibitory compounds, but it is thought that processes involving cell proliferation, such as the formation of callus and wound xylem, are delayed until the next growing season. ...
متن کاملSeed dormancy and seedling vigour as influenced by planting time environment and date of harvest in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Seed dormancy is a genetically inherited trait whose intensity is modified by the environment during seed development and maturation. In order to study the effect of harvest time on the seed quality and optimum time of sowing to obtain good quality seeds, freshly threshed seeds of ten diverse rice genotypes harvested from six environments were evaluated for seed dormancy and seedling vigour ind...
