The phytohormone auxin plays an essential role in many aspects of plant growth and development. Its patterning, intercellular transport, and means of signaling have been extensively studied both in experiments and computational models. Here, we present a review of models of auxin-regulated development in different plant tissues. This includes models of organ initiation in the shoot apical meristem, development of vascular strands in leafs and stems, and auxin-related functioning in roots. The examples show how mathematical modeling can help to examine expected and unexpected behavior of the system, challenge our knowledge and hypotheses, obtain quantitative results, or suggest new experiments and ways to approach a problem.
植物激素生长素在植物生长和发育的许多方面都起着至关重要的作用。它的模式形成、细胞间运输和信号传递方式在实验和计算模型中都得到了广泛的研究。在这里，我们回顾了不同植物组织中生长素调节发育的模型。这包括茎尖分生组织中器官起始、叶片和茎中维管束发育以及根中与生长素相关功能的模型。这些例子表明，数学建模如何有助于检查系统的预期和意外行为，挑战我们的知识和假设，获得定量结果，或提出新的实验和方法来解决问题。
