A distance measure between plant architectures
2000
Annals of Forest Science
In many biological fields (e.g. horticulture, forestry, botany), a need exists to quantify different types of variability within a set of plants. In this paper, we propose a method to compare plant individuals based on a detailed comparison of their architectures. The core of the method relies on an adaptation of an algorithm for comparing rooted tree graphs, recently proposed by Zhang in theoretical computer science. Using this algorithm a distance between two plants is defined as the cost of
