The branching pattern of the moss protonema is described by a dynamic model based on an activation-inhibition system with intercellular diffusion of an inhibitor. This model explains certain principal characteristics of branching of the moss protenema with the aid of two notions: the predetermination of cells (memory of the mother-cell activity) and activator-inhibitor coupling. The possibilities of using this kind of model to describe the growth of other branched plants are discussed.
