The platform is headed by the AGAP unit and the CIRAD - INRIA – INRAE joint research unit and backed by the Institut fédératif de recherche, développement, diversité et adaptation des plantes, phénotypes-gènes (IFR Daphné) and Agropolis Fondation, and provides an open-source environment for the integration of structural and functional models of plants on different scales (modelling of meristems, architecture, geometry, ecophysiology processes). This environment is used by a community of users and may therefore eventually evolve into a platform in the broad sense.
