Data scenarios for the model extraction approach. (a) In the Birnbaum scenario, spatio-temporally resolved transcriptomics data were used for the RegrEx method to extract (de)coupled tissue-specific models. The data sets were obtained from Birnbam et al.3. The considered cell types or tissue included lateral root cap, epidermis, cortex & endodermis as well as endodermis cells and cells composing the stele tissue (from outer to inner layers) of three developmental stages, i.e. meristematic, elongated and matured cells. The multi-tissue model was formed along the longitudinal axis of each cell type/tissue. (b) The Li 1 scenario comprised models covering the xylem, phloem and pericycle cells that were forming a stele multi-tissue model. (c) In the Li 2 scenario, only the developmental stages were considered. The multi-tissue model was simulating the root organ. For (b) and (c) transcriptomics data were obtained from Li et al.25.
