Abstract

L-system is a grammar-like formalism introduced to simulate the development of organisms. The L-system grammar can be viewed as a sort of genetic information that will be used to generate a specific structure. However, throughout development, the string (genetic information) that will effectively be used to ‘draw' the phenotype of an individual is a result of the derivation of the L-system grammar. This work investigates the effect of applying a genetic programming approach to evolve derived L-systems instead of evolving the Lsystem grammar. The crossing over of plants from different species results in hybrid plants resembling a ‘Frankstree', i.e. plants resultant from phenotypically different parents that present unusual body structures.
