Auxin signaling and patterning is an inherently complex process, involving polarized auxin transport, metabolism, and signaling, its effect on developmental zones, as well as growth rates, and the feedback between all these different aspects. This complexity has led to an important role for computational modeling in unraveling the multifactorial roles of auxin in plant developmental and adaptive processes. Here we discuss the basic ingredients of auxin signaling and patterning models for root development as well as a series of key modeling studies in this area. These modeling studies have helped elucidate how plants use auxin signaling to compute the size of their root meristem, the direction in which to grow, and when and where to form lateral roots. Importantly, these models highlight how auxin, through patterning of and collaborating with other factors, can fulfill all these roles simultaneously.

根部生长素信号传导建模：生长素计算


生长素信号传导和模式本质上是一个复杂的过程，涉及极化生长素转运、代谢和信号传导、其对发育区的影响、生长速率以及所有这些不同方面之间的反馈。这种复杂性使得计算模型在揭示生长素在植物发育和适应性过程中的多因素作用方面发挥着重要作用。在这里，我们讨论根发育的生长素信号传导和模式模型的基本成分，以及该领域的一系列关键模型研究。这些建模研究有助于阐明植物如何利用生长素信号来计算其根分生组织的大小、生长方向以及何时何地形成侧根。重要的是，这些模型强调了生长素如何通过其他因素的模式化和与其他因素的合作，同时发挥所有这些作用。
