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.
Going nuts: simulating macadamia’s carbon allocation in Australia
Study proposes a new computer model for simulating macadamia tree carbon allocation.

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...
Integrated approach to maximize trait selection
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...
