Defining Good Neighbours: Modelling Root Traits for Beneficial Plant-Plant Interactions - Code Repository

In this repository you can find FEniCS scripts for

• Base model: One root, one exudate, parameters for rice, see basemodel_rice.py.
• Base model: Two roots, one exudate, parameters for rice, see basemodel_2roots_rice.py.
• Extended model: Two roots, two exudates, parameters for barley (left root) and tobacco (right root), see the folder extended_model for the script extended_BT.py.

In the folder extended_model there is a file for plotting phosphate uptake at the left and right roots, see plotflux.py.
