Leaf composites better than single leaves at capturing species differences
Accurate species prediction depended on adequate sampling and straightforward genetic background.

Cross-disciplinary research needed to unleash the potential of plant morphology
There were many great articles concerning cross-disciplinary research at the interface between plant biology, mathematics and computer science before the launch in silico Plants (isP). We are excited for isP to be home...
A software package to simulate daily field crop canopy photosynthesis
How can we improve crops in the future? One method would be to improve the photosynthesis process in crops, to increase productivity from the same plants. However, there isn’t a lot of research connecting leaf...

Model-based calculating tool for gene flow
The potential socioeconomic and environmental impacts caused by transgene flow from genetically engineered (GE) crops have stimulated worldwide biosafety concerns. A recent study published in AoB PLANTS by Wang and Lu...

Stochastic modelling in ecosystems – progress but we are not there yet
Modelling of processes lets one understand the functions of interacting components, helps to identify parts of processes, and can predict outcomes of changes in the system. Unfortunately, what was a major area of...

Stochastic Modelling in Ecosystems
Predicting ecosystems responses under changing environment conditions is one of the major challenges in ecology. It is rendered more complex by the non-linear dynamics which characterise ecosystems and the partially...

Networks, systems biology and data analysis
In my research, I always seem to be somewhere near the extremes of having too much data or not having enough data to address the questions I am asking. Even in experimental design, there seems to be a similar...
Modelling germination and emergence of Medicago
Modelling germination and emergence of <i>Medicago</i> Germination and early heterotrophic growth are the crucial steps in plant establishment. Brunel et al. phenotype several Medicago truncatula genotypes...
