In plant studies it is essential to determine cell cycle duration (T). Zhukovskaya et al. have previously proposed an exponential model evaluating T in the root apical meristem (RAM) based on the dynamics of root...
Morphogenesis depends on the modulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. The reverse genetics approach of García-Cruz et al. reveals that such modulation is dynamically adjusted in response to various signals...
This review first describes the root system and then presents fundamental work that has shed light on the basic regulatory principles of root growth and development.
Flow–Force theory can be combined easily with changes in the nitrate influx rate induced by climatic and in planta factors formalized by polynomial curves.
Using a thermodynamic flow–force interpretation of nitrate uptake isotherms, Malagoli and Le Deunff develop a functional– structural model to predict N uptake in winter oilseed rape, Brassica napus. The structural...
Difficulties in linking the various regulations of nitrate transport acting at different levels of time and on different spatial scales have hindered the development of models for nitrogen uptake. Le Deunff and Malagoli...
