Cyclic programmed cell death stimulates hormone signaling and root development in Arabidopsis (2016)
Journal Article
Xuan, W., Band, L. R., Kumpf, R. P., Van Damme, D., Parizot, B., De Rop, G., …Beeckman, T. (2016). Cyclic programmed cell death stimulates hormone signaling and root development in Arabidopsis. Science, 351(6271), 384-387. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aad2776

The plant root cap, surrounding the very tip of the growing root, perceives and transmits environmental signals to the inner root tissues. In Arabidopsis thaliana, auxin released by the root cap contributes to the regular spacing of lateral organs al...

Systems Analysis of Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root Apex (2014)
Journal Article
Band, L. R., Wells, D. M., Fozard, J. A., Ghetiu, T., French, A. P., Pound, M. P., …Bennett, M. J. (2014). Systems Analysis of Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root Apex. Plant Cell, 26(3), 862-875. https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.113.119495

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... Read More about Systems Analysis of Auxin Transport in the Arabidopsis Root Apex.

Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending (2014)
Journal Article
Dyson, R. J., Vizcay-Barrena, G., Band, L. R., Fernandes, A. N., French, A. P., Fozard, J. A., …Jensen, O. E. (2014). Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending. New Phytologist, 202(4), 1212-1222. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.12764

Root elongation and bending require the coordinated expansion of multiple cells of different types. These processes are regulated by the action of hormones that can target distinct cell layers. We use a mathematical model to characterise the influenc... Read More about Mechanical modelling quantifies the functional importance of outer tissue layers during root elongation and bending.

Multiscale modelling of auxin transport in the plant-root elongation zone (2012)
Journal Article
Band, L. R., & King, J. R. (2012). Multiscale modelling of auxin transport in the plant-root elongation zone. Journal of Mathematical Biology, 65(4), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00285-011-0472-y

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... Read More about Multiscale modelling of auxin transport in the plant-root elongation zone.

Stochastic and deterministic multiscale models for systems biology: An auxin-transport case study (2010)
Journal Article
Twycross, J., Band, L. R., Bennett, M. J., King, J. R., & Krasnogor, N. (2010). Stochastic and deterministic multiscale models for systems biology: An auxin-transport case study. BMC Systems Biology, 4, https://doi.org/10.1186/1752-0509-4-34

Background: Stochastic and asymptotic methods are powerful tools in developing multiscale systems biology models; however, little has been done in this context to compare the efficacy of these methods. The majority of current systems biology modellin... Read More about Stochastic and deterministic multiscale models for systems biology: An auxin-transport case study.
