Fig. 8

Cell numbers with constant parameters and boundary conditions. a With a zero-concentration boundary condition on the xylem side. b With a zero-flux boundary condition on the xylem boundary. Cell numbers reach the same stationary state in both cases, but the initial transient states are different. With a zero-concentration boundary condition (a), cell numbers increase steadily and slowly toward their final state. With a zero-flux boundary condition (b), cell numbers increase rapidly up to a maximum and then decrease rapidly toward their final state
