Global plant–symbiont organization and emergence of biogeochemical cycles resolved by evolution-based trait modelling (Nature Ecol Evol)

February 8, 2019 in /by

Most plants depend on microbial partners (symbionts) to help them take up nutrients from the soil. Lu and Hedin set out to identify how these plant-symbiont partnerships contribute to plant distributions and biogeochemical cycles, using an evolution-based modelling approach. The model takes into account forest carbon and nutrient cycles, nutrient limitations and the exchange of […]

Mathematical modeling approaches in plant metabolomics

February 1, 2019 in /by

Mathematical modeling, as a series of useful methods for functional and causal interpretation of experimental high-throughput studies, enables us to explore the complex field of plant metabolism. The application of differential equations as a mathematical method has been developed and reviewed for decades and has been used to describe, analyze, and predict complex and nonintuitive […]
