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...

A 3D functional–structural plant model of shoot and root driven by soil hydraulics
Improved modelling of carbon assimilation and plant growth to low soil moisture requires evaluation of underlying mechanisms in the soil, roots, and shoots. The feedback between plants and their local environment...
How Important Is Leaf Realism in Functional-Structural Plant Modelling?
Making a realistic plant in a computer model is possible, but is it necessary. All the computations generating the plant slow down the speed of any simulation. As a result it’s common to use simple geometric shapes for...
Modelling leaf spectral properties in a soybean canopy
Accurate modelling of light–plant interactions requires knowledge on how light interacts with leaves within the canopy, which can be difficult to measure and model in dynamic and heterogeneous canopies. Coussement et al...
Towards turgor-driven growth in FSPs
In many scenarios, water availability plays a determinant role in plant growth. Current functional-structural plant models (FSPs) mainly focus on plant-carbon relations and largely disregard the importance of plant...
