Multiscale Mathematical Modeling in Systems Biology: A Framework to Boost Plant Synthetic Biology.

ABSTRACT: Global food insecurity and environmental degradation highlight the urgent need for more sustainable agricultural solutions. Plant synthetic biology emerges as a promising yet risky avenue to develop such solutions. While synthetic biology offers the potential for enhanced crop traits, it also entails risks of extensive environmental damage. This review highlights the complexities and risks associated with plant synthetic biology, while presenting the potential of multiscale mathematical modeling to assess and mitigate those risks effectively. Despite its potential, applying multiscale mathematical models in plants remains underutilized. Here, we advocate for integrating technological advancements in agricultural data analysis to develop a comprehensive understanding of crops across biologi
