This paper briefly introduces how to simulate plant topological structure and development by a plant architectural model, dual-scale automaton model. This computer model is faithful to botanical structure and knowledge and is parameters have a strong botanical meaning. The software "Visualplant", based on dual-scale automaton model, can interactively generate almost all kinds of plant architectures by its graphics interface. Several examples of inflorescences and plant architectural models simulated by this model are presented as examples of its functionality.
