The Propagation of Auxin Waves and Wave trains

Bachelor thesis | Natuurkunde (BSc)

Many things remain unknown about the functioning of Auxin in plant development of growth. We evaluate two models regarding Auxin propagation and investigate whether they allow for the formation of Auxin pulses. We numerically uncover the existence of families of small-amplitude traveling pulses and theoretically analyze their leading order behaviour.
