The aim of the vSEED project is to provide a dynamic mathematical description of seed dormancy, after-ripening and germination focussing on the key seed compartments the radicle and endosperm. This interdisciplinary project will analyse the comparative biology of the closely related Brassicaceae species Arabidopsis thaliana and Lepidium sativum, using engineering, imaging, modelling and post-genomics approaches to develop a virtual germinating seed. We propose that germination is an ideal exemplary subject for the integration of new technologies and for developing molecular plant biomechanics in conjunction with dynamic mathematical modelling.

vSEED项目的目的是提供种子休眠、后熟和萌发的动态数学描述，重点是种子的关键隔室胚根和胚乳。这个跨学科项目将分析密切相关的拟南芥科物种拟南芥和独行菜的比较生物学，使用工程，成像，建模和后基因组学方法来开发虚拟发芽种子。我们建议，发芽是一个理想的示范性主题的整合新技术和发展分子植物生物力学与动态数学建模。
