How do plant cells grow?
Expansive growth of plant cells is controlled
principally by processes that
loosen the wall and enable it to expand
irreversibly (Cosgrove, 1993).

What are the rules of plant root growth?
Water must be brought into the cell to facilitate the growth (an external water source).
The tough polymeric wall maintains the shape. Cells must shear to create the needed
additional surface area. The growth process is irreversible

Water Potential, gradient is the driving
force in water movement.
= s + p + m
Gradients in plants cause an inflow of water from the soil into the roots and to the transpiring surfaces in the leaves (Steudle, 2001).
Hydraulic Conductivity, K
Measure of ability of water to move through the plant
Inversely proportional to the resistance of an individual cell to water influx Think electricity: (Conductance = 1/ Resistance)
A typical value: Kr ,Kz = 1.3x 10-10 m2s-1MPa-1
Value for a plant depends on growth conditions and intensity of water flow
Relative Elemental Growth Rate, L(z)
A measure of the spatial distribution of growth within the root organ.
Co-moving reference frame centered at root tip.
Marking experiments describe the growth trajectory of the plant through time.
Erickson and Silk, 1980
L(z) = · (K·) (1) Notation:
Kx, Ky, Kz: The hydraulic conductivities in x,y,z directions
fx = f/x: Partial of any variable (f) with respect to x
In 2d: L(z) = Kzzz+ Krrr + Kz
zz+ Krrrr (2)
In 3d:L(z) = Kxxx+Kyyy+Kzzz
+Kxxx+Ky

The assumptions are the key to the different theories.
External Source Root Growth Theory Assumptions
The tissue is roughly cylindrical with radius r growing only in the direction of the long axis z.
The growth pattern does not change in time. Conductivities in the radial (Kr) and longitudinal
(Kz) directions are independent so radial flow is not modified by longitudinal flow.
The water needed for primary root-growth is obtained only from the surrounding growth medium.
*Remember each individual element will travel through this pattern*
External Source Theory
Multiple Source Root Growth Theory
Adds internal known sources
Doesn’t change previous matrix: L = [Coeff]
Gould, et al 2004
Multiple Source Root Growth Theory Assumptions
The tissue is roughly cylindrical with radius r growing only in the direction of the long axis z.
The growth pattern does not change in time.
Conductivities in the radial (Kr) and longitudinal (Kz) directions are independent so radial flow is not modified by longitudinal flow.
The water needed for primary root-growth is obtained from the surrounding growth medium AND the phloem sources.

Multiple Source Theory
Comparison of Results
3-D Multiple Source Model Results
3-D External Source Model Results
Sensitivity Analysis: Geometry
r = 0.3mm : 0.5mm :0.7mm
Summary: Growth Analysis
Radius: increase in radius results in increase of maximum water potential and resulting gradient
Phloem Placement: The further from the root tip that the phloem stop, the more the solution approximates the osmotic root growth model
Hydraulic Conductivity: Increased conductivity decreases the radial gradient
Growth Conditions: Soil vs Water Conditions play an important role in comparing source and non source gradients
End Goal….
Computational 3-d box of soil through which we can grow plant roots in real time while monitoring the change of growth variables.
