EcoMeristem, a model of morphogenesis and competition among sinks in rice. 1. Concept, validation and sensitivity analysis

Abstract: Because of rapid advances in functional genomics there is an increasing demand for models simulating complex traits, such as the physiological and environmental controls of plant morphology. This paper describes, validates and explores the behaviour of the structural–functional model EcoMeristem, developed for cereals in the context of the Generation Challenge Program (GCP; CGIAR). EcoMeristem constructs the plant on the basis of an organogenetic body plan, driven by intrinsic (genetic) behavioural norms of me… Show more

“…In the context of breeding, models have been used for two purposes, first to extend envirotyping beyond the analysis of environment variables per se (i.e. using the model as an integrator that characterizes the growth environment), and second to extend the phenotyping per se at the level of the plot or plant, sometimes described as model-assisted phenotyping (Luquet et al, 2006;Rebolledo et al, 2015). A newly sought outcome from applications of CGMs is to combine their outputs of development and growth variables with knowledge from genomics and understanding of genetic architecture in order to predict the trait combinations, and eventually the allele combinations, that provide improved solutions in breeding (Technow et al, 2015).…”

“…As a signal, cytokinins are expressed in arbitrary units (AUs) and are not taken into account in the mass balance. In CN-Wheat, metabolite concentrations are expressed relative to organ structural dry mass, as proposed by several authors (Tabourel-Tayot and Gastal, 1998;Thornley, 1998;Luquet et al, 2006).…”

“…Nevertheless, plants are not fundamentally driven by central regulatory mechanisms and empirical rules may be impaired by environmental variations. In contrast, mechanistic models explicitly account for biological processes of plants and deal with concepts and variables that can be assessed and measured experimentally (TabourelTayot and Gastal, 1998;Luquet et al, 2006;Bertheloot et al, 2011;Grafahrend-Belau et al, 2013).…”

“…Indeed, this model focuses on processes that are generic enough to be applied to most plant species (biomass prodution and allocation, coupled with the plant topological development); its main principles are shared by several other 'carbon-driven' models (e.g. TOMSIM [10], one extension of the ADELwheat model [5] or EcoMeristem [18]) so parts of this work can be generalized; changes in plant topology are dynamically simulated in interaction with the plant physiological state, which allows modelling phenomena such as fruit abortion or branch appearance. Besides, a strong effort was put on its rigourous mathematical formalization, thus paving the way to the study of its behaviour.…”
