Multiscale modelling of auxin transport in the plant-root elongation zone.
In the root elongation zone of a plant, the hormone auxin moves in a polar manner due to active transport facilitated by spatially distributed influx and efflux carriers present on the cell membranes. To understand how the cell-scale active transport and passive diffusion combine to produce the effective tissue-scale flux, we apply asymptotic methods to a cell-based model of auxin transport to ...
متن کاملAuxin and ethylene promote root hair elongation in Arabidopsis.
Genetic and physiological studies implicate the phytohormones auxin and ethylene in root hair development. To learn more about the role of these compounds, we have examined the root hair phenotype of a number of auxin- and ethylene-related mutants. In a previous study, Masucci and Schiefelbein (1996) showed that neither the auxin response mutations aux1 and axr1 nor the ethylene response mutati...
متن کاملSystems analysis of auxin transport in the Arabidopsis root apex.
Auxin is a key regulator of plant growth and development. Within the root tip, auxin distribution plays a crucial role specifying developmental zones and coordinating tropic responses. Determining how the organ-scale auxin pattern is regulated at the cellular scale is essential to understanding how these processes are controlled. In this study, we developed an auxin transport model based on act...
متن کاملA useful model of auxin transport in the root apex.
A popular quotation among computational modelers is that “Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful” (Box and Draper, 1987). Like themodels referred to, thestatement itself is an oversimplification of the process of computational modeling, but it is arguably useful, for example, as an introduction to—and an easyway of remembering—amore complex discourse on some of the fundamental p...
متن کاملAuxin transport routes in plant development.
The differential distribution of the plant signaling molecule auxin is required for many aspects of plant development. Local auxin maxima and gradients arise as a result of local auxin metabolism and, predominantly, from directional cell-to-cell transport. In this primer, we discuss how the coordinated activity of several auxin influx and efflux systems, which transport auxin across the plasma ...
