  "abstract": "Whole-plant models capture the dynamics of plant architecture and physiology. However, the representation of metabolism in these frameworks remains limited. This work surveys the representation of metabolism in popular mechanistic whole-plant modelling frameworks. We next discuss the scope of using constraint-based metabolic models to study metabolism at the whole-plant scale and finally present a case for integrating metabolic models with other models to overcome the limitations of individual models.",
