Model description

Model of Arabidopsis rosette growth that is focussed on the contribution of the 24-hour, circadian clock. Detailed gene circuit model of the clock with TF outputs to hypocotyl elongation and flowering time. Simple C metabolism with clock-regulated starch degradation, controls growth, with individual leaf areas. Simple root as C sink.

Some case studies

Chew et al. 2017 preprint compares biomass growth of well-watered, nutrient-replete but light-limited WT and slow-clock mutant Arabidopsis (prr7prr9 double mutant).
