Elementary effects for models with dimensional inputs of arbitrary type and range: Scaling and trajectory generation (2023)
Journal Article
Rutjens, R. J., Band, L. R., Jones, M. D., & Owen, M. R. (2023). Elementary effects for models with dimensional inputs of arbitrary type and range: Scaling and trajectory generation. PLoS ONE, 18(10), Article e0293344. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0293344

The Elementary Effects method is a global sensitivity analysis approach for identifying (un)important parameters in a model. However, it has almost exclusively been used where inputs are dimensionless and take values on [0, 1]. Here, we consider mode...

Modelling how plant cell-cycle progression leads to cell size regulation (2023)
Journal Article
Williamson, D., Tasker-Brown, W., Murray, J., Jones, A. R., & Band, L. R. (2023). Modelling how plant cell-cycle progression leads to cell size regulation. PLoS Computational Biology, 19(10), Article e1011503. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011503

Populations of cells typically maintain a consistent size, despite cell division rarely being precisely symmetrical. Therefore, cells must possess a mechanism of “size control”, whereby the cell volume at birth affects cell-cycle progression. While s...

Multiscale asymptotic analysis reveals how cell growth and subcellular compartments affect tissue-scale hormone transport (2023)
Journal Article
Kiradjiev, K. B., & Band, L. R. (2023). Multiscale asymptotic analysis reveals how cell growth and subcellular compartments affect tissue-scale hormone transport. Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 85, Article 101. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11538-023-01199-4

Determining how cell-scale processes lead to tissue-scale patterns is key to understanding how hormones and morphogens are distributed within biological tissues and control developmental processes. In this article, we use multiscale asymptotic analys... Read More about Multiscale asymptotic analysis reveals how cell growth and subcellular compartments affect tissue-scale hormone transport.

Gibberellin and abscisic acid transporters facilitate endodermal suberin formation in Arabidopsis (2023)
Journal Article
Binenbaum, J., Wulff, N., Camut, L., Kiradjiev, K., Anfang, M., Tal, I., …Shani, E. (2023). Gibberellin and abscisic acid transporters facilitate endodermal suberin formation in Arabidopsis. Nature Plants, 9, 785-802. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41477-023-01391-3

The plant hormone gibberellin (GA) regulates multiple developmental processes. It accumulates in the root elongating endodermis, but how it moves into this cell file and the significance of this accumulation are unclear. Here we identify three NITRAT...

Long-distance hormone transport via the phloem (2023)
Journal Article
Collis, H. L., Owen, M. R., & Band, L. R. (2023). Long-distance hormone transport via the phloem. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 562, Article 111415. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2023.111415

Several key plant hormones are synthesised in the shoot and are advected within the phloem to the root tip. In the root tip, these hormones regulate growth and developmental processes, and responses to environmental cues. However, we lack understandi...
