Dry Lab Report

We developed three models for our project. The first model simulates the spread of infectious plant diseases likeAsian Soybean Rust using kudzu as a vector. The second model uses Mass Action Kinetics and Michaelis-Menten Enzyme Kinetics to simulate the ROTCase production and activity under promoters with different strengths. The third model predicts the spread and management cost of kudzu in local area.
