Necessity for modeling hormonal crosstalk in arabidopsis root development?

Moore, Simon; Liu, Junli; Chen, Chunli; Lindsey, Keith

Abstract

Hormones play vital roles in plant root development. Mathematical models have been employed to study hormone functions. However, models developed by different research groups focus on different aspects of hormones and therefore cannot be used to study root growth as an integrative system that involves the functions of all hormones. To use modeling to study root development, the crosstalk nature of hormones requires the further development of mathematical models to understand their interplay in the context of diverse experimental data. This opinion article discusses what new insights can be developed by modeling hormonal crosstalk beyond experimental data. We propose that one integrative model should be developed to integrate all experimental data for elucidating root growth.
