Localised auxin peaks in concentration-based transport models for plants (2014)
Journal Article
Draelants, D., Avitabile, D., & Vanroose, W. Localised auxin peaks in concentration-based transport models for plants. Manuscript submitted for publication

We study the existence and bifurcation structure of stationary localised auxin spots in concentration-based auxin-transport models posed on one- and two-dimensional networks of plant cells. In regular domains with small active transport coefficient a... Read More about Localised auxin peaks in concentration-based transport models for plants.
