Coupling Geometric PDEs with Physics for Cell Morphology, Motility and Pattern Formation

We present a mathematical model for plant cell invasion by the rice blast fungus. The model couples an evolution law for the growth of a tumour on the plant leaf to a reaction diffusion system that holds on the surface of the tumour. We derive a finite element approximation to the model and we show some computational results.
