Multi-physics modeling for ion homeostasis in multi-compartment plant cells using an energy function

Fig 6

Simulation results with constant ratios between pump rates.

The rates of the vacuole pump are (left), (middle), and (right). The plotted values are the numbers of moles of chloride (top), potassium (middle) and water (bottom), with the amount of water being proportional to the compartment volume. All plots on a same row share the same y-axis. The ratio between osmolyte and water transport at the vacuole membrane and at the plasma membrane is asymptotically similar to the ratio between the hydrogen pump rates, which corresponds to equal concentrations of osmolytes between compartments.
