Cover Story: We considered the concept of fluctuating asymmetry to improve the prototype leaf shape of the virtual plant model L-Cucumber. Data from in situ digitized leaves were compared to the prototype by a robust Bayesian approach to estimate a new leaf shape. Results indicated almost no directional asymmetry but showed systematic deviations from the protoype shared by both halves. Virtual plant simulations revealed a slight improvement in internode growth against experimental data using the new shape. View this paper.
