Modeling plant morphogenesis (and bio-mechanics) with MorphoMechanX : general introduction and work in progress on A. thaliana ovule development.

Abstract
Computational approaches have become an essential tool to understand developmental processes in plants. Within this seminar I will introduce the in-house built software MorphoMechanX (www.morphomechanx.org), an FEM-based tool conceived to simulate plant mechanics and growth. I will then explore some significant examples of applications that will elucidate the role of mechanics in plant development.
As last I will illustrate the on-going work on A. thaliana ovule development in C. Baroux lab.
