1. Increasing model robustness for stem cell regulation in plant shoots
University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : The transcription factor WUSCHEL and the peptide CLAVATA3 have key roles to plat in the regulatory network effecting the differentiation of the stem cells at the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis. The signal pathway of this network has been under investigation for several years and models utilizing the already identified parts of the network have been developed. READ MORE

2. Describing radial patterning and leaf polarity in plants using a model of a dynamic shoot apical meristem with primordia initiation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : The initiation of leaf and flower primordia in plants occurs in the shoot apical meristem and results in visible large–scale regular patterns of organs. It has previously been proposed that the initiation of new primordia is triggered by the plant hormone auxin by a mechanism that is confined to the outermost epidermal layer of the meristem.

3. Demarcating good solutions in system biology computer models using artificial neural networks
University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : How close a computer model comes to recreating real-world phenomena often depends on the value of its internal parameters, but investigating the outcome of the model for every point in parameter space is in practice an impossible task. Here an artificial neural network is used as a numerical predictor on two different system biology computer models. READ MORE
