Program: leafDevSimulator_v20221124.py

Developer: Tiangen Chang ([e-mail])

Aims and model variables

This program aims to simulating typical monocot vein patterning with different levels of SHR-SCR and auxin, where:

SHR-SCR module will 1) promotes MC growth and division and 2) inhibits vein formation by inhibiting Auxin synthesis;

SG (substrate for growth) comes from vein and diffuse to outer layers to support cell growth and division;

Auxin produces by ground meristem cells and diffuse to sinks (veins) with conc. gradient. It will 1) promotes vein formation and 2) inhibits MC growth and division.

Variables: (SHR, SCR, Auxin, SG)

synthesis rate

degradation rate

diffuse rate
