Final Report Summary - EMERGENCE (Building a regulatory network for lateral root emergence)
The EMERGENCE project aimed at identifying the molecular events underlying this process in order to build a multiscale model of lateral root emergence. The goal of our modelling approach was to:
1) build a network model of LAX3 induction in the cortical cells to determine if the actual network topology can explain the dynamics of LAX3 induction by auxin,
2) integrate the network into a realistic 3D geometry to characterise the spatial induction of LAX3 and
3) to determine whether our model could predict new important components of the LR emergence pathway.
