This paper deals with the enhancement of virtual worlds by the use of simulation tools. It describes a plant growth model and its current integration in a virtual world. This model is based on a multi agent architecture, which allows an easy formulation of the processes occurring inside the plant. More generally, artificial life algorithms and biological models are used to define evolutionary processes applied on artificial entities. Virtual worlds provide an interface that allows the visualization of these model during their activity. In return, the integration of these models has an impact on the evolution of the simulated environment. As virtual worlds are open systems, environmental conditions are not precisely known, and this evolution tends to be less predictable and potentially more dynamic. Experimental results show the effect of different factors on the development of the plants.
