Can you predict a successful invasive species before it invades?
Researchers found that plant species with certain traits, like longer bloom periods and efficient resource utilisation, are more likely to successfully thrive in foreign environments.

Connecting plant phenotyping and modelling communities
A new study highlights areas of compatibility and strategies to move towards better communication and collaboration.
Below-ground hydraulics control stomatal closure
Botanists find that during soil drying, stomatal regulation is controlled by below-ground hydraulics in a predictable way.

Principles of resilient coding for plant ecophysiologists
Tired: Remembering if ‘ACi_sol_C_1.xlsx’ or ‘ACi_sol_D_v3.xlsx’ has correct parameter estimates. Wired: Using reproducible, scalable code to analyse data.

3D model of rhizodeposition
A new model simulates rhizodeposition patterns around growing and exuding root systems.
The Role of Adaptive Strategies in Plant Modelling
How can plant modelers introduce a genetic dimension into physiological models at different organizational scales in a meaningful way?
Computing modelling and photosynthesis
One way to improve crop yields is to improve photosynthesis, but how can scientists do this? Alexandrina Stirbet and colleagues review mathematical modelling as a tool for studying photosynthesis, as part of a special...

Modelling practices that support crop improvement
Credibility and transdisciplinarity play crucial roles in modelling to advance crop adaptation and plant improvement.
Key Eucalyptus traits for high yield under climate change identified
Global sensitivity analysis was used to identify key traits for Eucalyptus adaptation to climate variability and change in Brazil.

A new whole-plant framework simulates realistic water and carbon flow
CPlantBox generates a variety of 3D full plant architectures and accurately simulates water and carbon flow in the full plant.
Relationship between duration of cell differentiation and xylem traits
Secondary growth is a process related to the formation of new cells that increase in size and wall thickness during xylogenesis. Temporal dynamics of wood formation influence cell traits, in turn affecting cell patterns...
