Xplo is an open source software for plant architecture eXploration at different scales for botanists, agronomists and educational purpose.

The main goals are :
  • to build, edit, visualize and extract architectural data,
  • to run individual level 3D growth models.

The software is built on a formal model inspired from MTG formalism which is the central data structure of the system.

Xplo is developed in the AMAP laboratory by Sébastien Griffon (CIRAD) :
