  abstract = {{Q}uantitative plant biology is an interdisciplinary field that builds on a long history of biomathematics and biophysics. {T}oday, thanks to high spatiotemporal resolution tools and computational modelling, it sets a new standard in plant science. {A}cquired data, whether molecular, geometric or mechanical, are quantified, statistically assessed and integrated at multiple scales and across fields. {T}hey feed testable predictions that, in turn, guide further experimental tests. {Q}uantitative features such as variability, noise, robustness, delays or feedback loops are included to account for the inner dynamics of plants and their interactions with the environment. {H}ere, we present the main features of this ongoing revolution, through new questions around signalling networks, tissue topology, shape plasticity, biomechanics, bioenergetics, ecology and engineering. {I}n the end, quantitative plant biology allows us to question and better understand our interactions with plants. {I}n turn, this field opens the door to transdisciplinary projects with the society, notably through citizen science.},
