The Dynamics of Soybean Leaf and Shoot Apical Meristem Transcriptome Undergoing Floral Initiation Process [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Flowering process governs seed set and thus affects agricultural productivity. Soybean, a major legume crop, requires short-day photoperiod conditions for flowering. While leaf-derived signal(s) are essential for the photoperiod-induced floral initiation

Live Imaging of the Shoot Apical Meristem of Intact, Soil-Grown, Flowering Arabidopsis Plants [PDF]
Bio-ProtocolAll aerial organs in plants originate from the shoot apical meristem, a specialized tissue at the tip of a plant, enclosing a few stem cells. Understanding developmental dynamics within this tissue in relation to internal and external stimuli is of ...

Novel genome editing approaches to manipulate apical meristem activity for crop yield [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceMeristem function underlies organogenesis and yield potential in crop species, and its regulation depends on the crosstalk of genetic and hormonal networks that balance stem-cell niche maintenance and differentiation.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 In plants, the shoot apical meristem contains the stem cells and is responsible for the generation of all aerial organs. Mechanistically, organogenesis is associated with an auxin-dependent local softening of the epidermis.

The peptidase DA1 cleaves and destabilizes WUSCHEL to control shoot apical meristem size [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsStem cells in plants and animals are the source of new tissues and organs. In plants, stem cells are maintained in the central zone (CZ) of multicellular meristems, and large shoot meristems with an increased stem cell population hold promise for ...

The signaling peptide-encoding genes CLE16, CLE17 and CLE27 are dispensable for Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The shoot apical meristem produces all of the leaves, stems and flowers of a flowering plant from a reservoir of stem cells at its growing tip. In Arabidopsis, the small polypeptide signaling molecule CLAVATA3 (CLV3), a member of the CLV3/EMBRYO ...

Translational control of Arabidopsis meristem stability and organogenesis by the eukaryotic translation factor eIF3h. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Essentially all aboveground plant tissues develop from the stem cells in the primary shoot apical meristem. Proliferation of the stem cell population in the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem is tightly controlled by a feedback loop formed primarily by ...

A quantitative and dynamic model for plant stem cell regulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Plants maintain pools of totipotent stem cells throughout their entire life. These stem cells are embedded within specialized tissues called meristems, which form the growing points of the organism.
