Branching pattern in young red oak
In both computational molecular biology and computational plant architecture, the generic problem of analysing successions of homogeneous zones in discrete sequences is currently addressed using a class of statistical models called hidden semi-Markov chains. Heuret et al. (pp. 479-492) describe growth units that take into account the succession of axillary branch production. This approach reveals different branching pattern types are present in red oak.
