Abstract
Development of organisms is a very complex process in that a lot of gene networks of different cell types are to be integrated. Development of cellular automata that model the morphodynamics of different cell types is the first step in understanding and analyzing the regulatory mechanisms that underlie the developmental gene networks. We have developed a model of a cellular automaton that simulates the embryonic development of the shoot meristem in Arabidopsis thaliana. The model adequately describes the basic stages in the development of this organ in wild type and mutants.
