Modeling has been used to explore various aspects of primary root development and growth in Arabidopsis thaliana, thanks to enormous advances in the genetic and biochemical bases of cell division, cell growth and differentiation, and, more recently, progress in measuring these processes. Modeling has facilitated the characterization of the regulations involved in these processes and the system properties that they confer. Recently, the mechanical-physical properties of root growth have started to be determined with the help of modeling. Here we review recent progress in modeling approaches used to examine root development and growth, from the transcriptional and signaling regulation of cell decisions to the mechanical basis of morphogenesis, and we highlight common features and future challenges.
由于在细胞分裂、细胞生长和分化的遗传及生化基础方面取得了巨大进展，并且最近在测量这些过程方面也取得了进展，建模已被用于探索拟南芥主根发育和生长的各个方面。建模有助于表征这些过程中涉及的调控以及它们所赋予的系统特性。最近，借助建模已开始确定根生长的机械物理特性。在这里，我们回顾了用于研究根发育和生长的建模方法的最新进展，从细胞决策的转录和信号调控到形态发生的机械基础，并强调了共同特征和未来挑战。
