Presenting BioCro II: an updated software package for modular crop growth simulations.

in silico Plants is calling for papers for a special issue on integrative and multiscale modelling. This special issue will aim to publish research describing improved and newly developed multiscale models and tools.

Model identifies optimal light conditions to manipulate the circadian clock.

3D reconstruction of mangrove tree phyllotaxis from digitized plants yields novel data.

La reconstrucción en 3D de la filotaxis de los manglares a base de plantas digitalizadas arroja datos novedosos.

Mangrovenwälder sind der Grundstein der tropischen und subtropischen Ökosysteme an den Küsten. Mangroven können dort wachsen, wo kein anderer Baum wachsen kann, und haben einen enormen Nutzen für die Küstenökologie. Die komplexen Wurzelsysteme der Mangroven fangen Sedimente und Schadstoffe ab und stabilisieren die Küstenlinie. Außerdem bieten sie Nahrungsgründe und Lebensraum für Wildtiere und Meeresbewohner sowie […]

"As water potential is regarded the best indicator of plant water status, because it is the integrated result of above- and below-ground environmental conditions, it holds promise as a pivotal model variable to which other plant processes respond."

Combining modelling approaches to better understand cultivated plant community functioning

A successful plant model has now been parameterized to include soybean growth under elevated CO2.

An interactive method for creating and calibrating developmental plant models expressed using L-systems

A new model produces 3D trees that are close to reality using predicted data.
