Special Issue: “Plant Virus Epidemiology”

Plant development: a Special Issue.

I am very pleased to introduce this Special Issue focusing on plant developmental biology, published in honour of a founding father of the field, Ian Sussex. At its core, developmental biology is about understanding how a single cell, the zygote, becomes a complex multicellular organism with specialised cell types organised into coherent functional patterns. Evolution has provided two particula...

Functional‒Structural Plant Modelling Special Issue

Most available models for plant cell division are limited to symmetric division with isotropic growth, and often the actual growth of the cell wall is either not considered or is only updated intermittently in a separate time scale from that of the cell expansion mechanics. Abera et al. develop a generic plant cell division algorithm based on biomechanics and ellipse fitting and compare the res...
