      abstract     = {Plant growth and development involve the integration of
                      numerous processes, influenced by both endogenous and
                      exogenous factors. At any given time during a plant’s life
                      cycle, the plant architecture is a readout of this
                      continuous integration. However, untangling the individual
                      factors and processes involved in the plant development and
                      quantifying their influence on the plant developmental
                      process is experimentally challenging. Here we used a
                      combination of computational plant models (CPlantBox and
                      PiafMunch) to help understand experimental findings about
                      how local phloem anatomical features influence the root
                      system architecture. Our hypothesis was that strong local
                      phloem resistance would restrict local carbon flow and
                      locally modify root growth patterns. To test this
                      hypothesis, we simulated the mutual interplay between the
                      root system architecture development and the carbohydrate
                      distribution to provide a plausible mechanistic explanation
                      for several experimental results. Our in silico experiments
                      highlighted the strong influence of local phloem hydraulics
                      on the root growth rates, growth duration and final length.
                      The model result showed that a higher phloem resistivity
                      leads to shorter roots due to the reduced flow of carbon
                      within the root system. This effect was due to local
                      properties of individual roots, and not linked to any of the
                      pleiotropic effects at the root system level. Our results
                      open a door to a better representation of growth processes
                      in a plant computational model.},
