General diagramme of XyDyS. XyDyS core defines the structure common to all XyDyS models. Each signal transport mechanism comes as a module that can be clipped to the core. The boundary condition on the xylem side comes as another module, clipped to the transport module. For instance, model a would be used to investigate the action of a signal which diffuses in the apoplast, with mature xylem flushing out the signal. Model b would be used to investigate the action of a signal which is polarly transported, with a mature xylem impenetrable to the signal
