Joint Meeting of Asian Conference for Mathematical Biology and Annual Meeting of Japanese Society for Mathematical Biology (ACMB-JSMB2025)

Chair:Ryoko Tomiyasu(Kyushu University, Japan)

This mini-symposium will focus on the mathematical models of plant growth, with particular emphasis on phyllotaxis, L-systems, and differential growth on general surfaces and volumes in 3D space. In recent years, while the asymmetry observed in actual plant morphology has been explored from physical, biochemical and genetic perspectives, theoretical research has revealed that long-standing mathematical models possess a much higher degree of freedom than previously thought, encompassing broader morphospaces. It is interesting to ask whether these different approaches can be integrated to provide new insights into plant morphogenetic development. By bringing together researchers from diverse backgrounds, this session aims to consolidate recent developments and identify open questions in the field.
