Modelling initiation of plant root hairs : a reaction-diffusion system in a non-homogenous environment

A reaction-diffusion system, which can be considered as a generalised Schnakenberg-like model, is studied mathematically in 1D and 2D. This system models an initiation process within a root-hair cell which involves biochemical interactions of the G-proteins, known as Rho of Plants, or ROPs. These pr...
