Franca Bongers successfully defended her PhD thesis “How virtual shade sheds light on plant plasticity” at Wageningen University (WUR). The project was a collaboration between Niels Anten, Jochem Evers (both WUR) & Ronald Pierik (UU). It combined our expertises on computational modeling, shade avoidance and game-theory.  Check out our papers from this project so far:
