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...

A coupled phloem/xylem transport model
Transport of carbohydrates and water are essential aspects of plant functioning. This paper presents a novel approach for modelling these processes combining mathematical and computational methods. Seleznyova and Hanan...

Modelling root pressure using stem diameter variations
Root pressure can contribute to upward xylem water flow but it is difficult to measure directly. De Swaef et al. make continuous measurements of sap flow and stem diameter variations and combine them with a mechanistic...
Carbon status and stem diameter changes in tomato
Carbon assimilation and leaf-to-fruit sugar transport are, along with plant water status, the driving mechanisms for fruit growth. De Swaef et al. develop a mechanistic water-flow and storage model to relate variations...
