Investigating Continuous Models
of WUSCHEL Expression in the
Shoot Apical Meristem of A.thaliana
Dana Mohamed
Mentor: Bruce Shapiro, Caltech
Computable Plant
• How do environmental factors and
genetic makeup interact to shape plant
meristem developmental processes that
lead to plant flowers, leaves, shoots and
stems?

=
Shoot Apical Meristem
• Stem cell equivalent
• Where new cells are
created for the stem,
leaves, and flowers
• Controlled by intercellular
signaling of 2 genes
• WUSCHEL and CLAVATA3

Strategy Background
• In paper, model is discrete on extracted
template
• Average WUS intensity for individual cells is
obtained using confocal microscopy

Activator Model

Repressor Model
[WUS]
Activator Model Vs. Repressor Model
• The activator model assumes
there is an activator that
activates WUS, located where
WUS expression is high.
• The repressor model assumes
there is always high WUS
expression except where
there is an inhibitor.

Goal & Rationale
• Goal:
– To extend the models of the gene
expression to a continuous model
to see if model still holds
• Rationale:
– The models of this project were created as a
way to describe and test several hypotheses
– Further testing the models and extending
their applicability simply furthers their
research
Strategy
• To use Mathematica to extend the models.
– 1 Dimension, Line
- 2 Dimensions, Square
– 2 Dimensions, Circle
• To test different initial conditions while holding the
boundary conditions to 0, as set in the original paper.
