Abstract

This article proposes a phenomenological model that describes the pattern formation of the seedcoat (seedhead) of plant seeds through reaction-diffusion equations with parameters within Turing’s space. With the purpose of studying pattern formation, several numerical examples concerning simplified geometries of a seed are solved. The finite element method is used for the numerical solution along with the Newton-Raphson method for the approximation of partial non-linear differential equations. The numerical examples show that the model may represent the formation of different types of plant seedcoats
