Turgor-Driven Plant Growth Inside a Soybean Functional-Structural Plant Model
Turgor pressure within a plant cell represents the key to mechanistically describe plant growth, combining the effect of both water and carbon availability. The high level of spatio-temporal variation and diurnal...

WALTer: A 3D wheat model that simulates tillering dynamics
Branching is a main morphogenetic process involved in the adaptation of plants to the environment. In grasses, tillering is divided into three phases: tiller emergence, cessation of tillering and tiller regression...
Flow–Force theory and modelling nitrogen uptake (Viewpoint)
Flow–Force theory can be combined easily with changes in the nitrate influx rate induced by climatic and in planta factors formalized by polynomial curves.

Nitrate uptake modelling in plants: root activity
Using a thermodynamic flow–force interpretation of nitrate uptake isotherms, Malagoli and Le Deunff develop a functional– structural model to predict N uptake in winter oilseed rape, Brassica napus. The structural...
Nitrate uptake modelling in plants: functional components
Difficulties in linking the various regulations of nitrate transport acting at different levels of time and on different spatial scales have hindered the development of models for nitrogen uptake. Le Deunff and Malagoli...
Functional Structural Plant Modelling to return to Finland
Plants have always attracted human interest as evolving structures, Leonardo da Vinci’s studies on trees as an early example. Today not only intellectual curiosity but also increasing pressures on vegetation management...

Modelling crown and wood characteristics of Pinus
Functional–structural tree models can be used not only for biomass and crown architecture modelling, but also for wood properties. Using L-system language, Fernández et al. develop a model based on plant allometry and...
