A 3D functional–structural plant model of shoot and root driven by soil hydraulics
Improved modelling of carbon assimilation and plant growth to low soil moisture requires evaluation of underlying mechanisms in the soil, roots, and shoots. The feedback between plants and their local environment...

Effects of ABA dynamics on poplar acclimation to drought
Characterisation of the biochemical and genetic mechanisms that underpin plant responses to water deficit are central to the development of more productive drought-tolerant biomass crops, including fast-growing poplars.

HydroShoot: a functional-structural plant model for simulating hydraulic structure, gas and energy exchange dynamics
A new model is able to predict the effect of training systems on grapevine gas-exchange dynamics under drought.

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...
The phyllochron of peach trees varies with shoot type and irrigation
The addition of new nodes to shoots is an essential mechanism for understanding and modelling canopy growth but surprisingly, there is very little research on the factors that control the phyllochron in tree species. It...

Interactive effects of [CO2] and water availability on maritime pine
Evidence from this study indicates that elevated [CO2] not only can aggravate the effects of water deficit on photosynthetic performance and growth of maritime pine but also it can attenuate genotypic differences in...
