Fig. 7From: Modelling wood formation and structure: power and limits of a morphogenetic gradient in controlling xylem cell proliferation and growthTwo possible concentration profiles using XyDyS-PAT with fixed boundary conditions and parameters. a, b With carriers oriented toward the xylem. Auxin is ‘pumped’ in the file and accumulates. As a consequence, the cambial and enlargement zones expand limitless. c, d With carriers oriented toward the cambium. Auxin is confined near the cambial zone and the concentration profile reaches a stationary exponential shapeBack to article page
