Abstract
We present a methodology that combines image and shape analysis techniques with a
mathematical formulation that allows us to shed light on the elastomechanics underlying tip
growth. The approach is organism neutral and can be applied to a wide range of filamentous
organisms, given data of sufficient quality.
Here we present images captured from experiment that show branching in plants along
with a simple algorithm for segmenting the shape of an emerging branch. We then present a
method for indirectly calculating the elastic modulus changes with time during the process
of branch creation.
