© 2017 The Authors. New Phytologist © 2017 New Phytologist Trust OpenSimRoot is an open-source, functional–structural plant model and mathematical description of root growth and function. We describe OpenSimRoot and its functionality to broaden the b... Read More about OpenSimRoot: widening the scope and application of root architectural models.

Dynamic regulation of auxin oxidase and conjugating enzymes AtDAO1 and GH3 modulates auxin homeostasis (2016)
Journal Article
Mellor, N. L., Band, L. R., Pěnčík, A., Novak, O., Rashed, A., Holman, T., …Owen, M. R. (2016). Dynamic regulation of auxin oxidase and conjugating enzymes AtDAO1 and GH3 modulates auxin homeostasis. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 113(39), 11022-11027. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1604458113

Auxin is a key hormone regulating plant growth and development. We combine experiments and mathematical modeling to reveal how auxin levels are maintained via feedback regulation of genes encoding key metabolic enzymes. We describe how regulation of...

Mathematical analysis of a model for the growth of the bovine corpus luteum (2013)
Journal Article
Prokopiou, S. A., Byrne, H. M., Jeffrey, M. R., Robinson, R. S., Mann, G. E., & Owen, M. R. (2014). Mathematical analysis of a model for the growth of the bovine corpus luteum. Journal of Mathematical Biology, 69, 1515-1546. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00285-013-0722-2

© 2013, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. The corpus luteum (CL) is an ovarian tissue that grows in the wound space created by follicular rupture. It produces the progesterone needed in the uterus to maintain pregnancy. Rapid growth of the CL and pr... Read More about Mathematical analysis of a model for the growth of the bovine corpus luteum.

Sequential induction of auxin efflux and influx carriers regulates lateral root emergence (2013)
Journal Article
Peret, B., Middleton, A. M., French, A. P., Larrieu, A., Bishopp, A., Njo, M., …Bennett, M. J. (2013). Sequential induction of auxin efflux and influx carriers regulates lateral root emergence. Molecular Systems Biology, 9(1), Article 699. https://doi.org/10.1038/msb.2013.43

In Arabidopsis, lateral roots originate from pericycle cells deep within the primary root. New lateral root primordia (LRP) have to emerge through several overlaying tissues. Here, we report that auxin produced in new LRP is transported towards the o... Read More about Sequential induction of auxin efflux and influx carriers regulates lateral root emergence.
