我们表明，非常简单的迭代规则的细胞生长的二维晶格可以模拟生物生长现象逼真。我们讨论了蕨类植物配子体，分枝真菌，和叶子的生长，并在生物变异和进化的研究有用的形状变换的随机细胞自动机模型。虽然有有趣的生物和物理生长过程之间的类比，我们强调生物自动机行为的独特性。成功模拟观察到的生长行为的计算机生长算法可能有助于确定生长调节的潜在生化机制。
We show that very simple iterative rules for the growth of cells on a two-dimensional lattice can simulate biological-growth phenomena realistically. We discuss random cellular automata models for the growth of fern gametophytes, branching fungi, and leaves, and for shape transformations useful in the study of biological variation and evolution. Although there are interesting analogies between biological and physical growth processes, we stress the uniqueness of biological automata behavior. The computer growth algorithms that successfully mimic observed growth behavior may be helpful in determining the underlying biochemical mechanisms of growth regulation.
