Abstract
A major challenge in plant biology is to understand how functions in plant cells emerge from interactions between molecular components. Computational and mathematical modelling can encapsulate the relationships between molecular components and reveal how biological functions emerge. We review recent progress in modelling in metabolism, growth, signalling and circadian rhythms in plant cells. We discuss challenges and opportunities for future directions.
Research highlights
Recent attempts to use computational and mathematical modelling to understand how functions in plant cells emerge from interactions between molecular components are reviewed. Examples of different types of modelling tool and their application to metabolism, growth, signalling and circadian rhythms in plant cells are summarised. Challenges and opportunities for future directions are discussed.
