Multi-physics modeling for ion homeostasis in multi-compartment plant cells using an energy function
Fig 5
Simulation results for the guard cell model.
The simulation output consists of the evolution of the number of moles of each chemical species as the progress of active transporters increases. Number of moles of water, chloride and potassium are plotted in a cumulated way, with the upper part representing the number of moles in the cytoplasm and the lower part representing the number of moles in the vacuole. While pH reflects the hydrogen concentration, pressure and electric potentials are obtained from derivatives of the energy function.
