Description o f a plant organism is of principal importance for the

detection and control of morphogenetic potential. An approach treating a

property and a trait of an organism as a result of its response to certain

environmental factors allows dynamic models to be built based on a modified

clock diagram.

Each trait is described by means of a radius-vector R(r,ф), length (r)

and angle (ф) determining the degree of trait expression and the pattern of

trait (geno) interaction, respectively. The diagram describes genotype, its

morphogenetic potential in particularly, and can be set in the space of

environmental factors affecting genotype, i.e. in the space of genome states

which may be the space o f growth regulators. In this case, angle (Ф)

determines both the pattern of trait (gene) interaction and the dependence of

a trait on environmental factors provided that the projection of vector R on

direction X of a factor considered determines the degree of trait expression

as affected by this factor.

The model suggested is described by a system o f equations provided

that the area of a figure established by interconnecting the terminations of

vectors R and/or the summation of the projections of vectors R on the

specified direction X will be preserved. In the zero-order approximation, the

model describes genotype; in higher approximations (when genotype's

interaction with environmental factors is taken into account), phenotype is

described. In the first case, new plant cultivars and technologies to produce

them can be modeled with an aid o f computers; in the second case,

regularities of expression of an organism's morphogenetic potential can be

investiga ted and the norm of genotype’s response to changeable

environmental conditions can be determined.
