In planta localisation patterns of MADS domain proteins during floral development in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2009 Background: MADS domain transcription factors play important roles in various developmental processes in flowering plants. Members of this family play a prominent role in the transition to flowering and the specification of floral organ identity. Several

Ontogeny of the Maize Shoot Apical Meristem [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2012 The maize (Zea mays) shoot apical meristem (SAM) arises early in embryogenesis and functions during stem cell maintenance and organogenesis to generate all the aboveground organs of the plant. Despite its integral role in maize shoot development, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of SAM initiation.

DNA synthesis in the nuclei of Pinus silvestris embryos during
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015 DNA synthesis starts earliest in the apical meristem of the shoot, and latest in the cotyledons. Mitoses appear simultaneously in the apical meristem and in the hypocotyl cortex.

Local expression of expansin induces the entire process of leaf development and modifies leaf shape [PDF]
, 2001 Expansins are a family of extracellular proteins proposed to play a key role in wall stress relaxation and, thus, in cell and tissue growth. To test the possible function of expansins in morphogenesis, we have developed a technique that allows transient ...

Transcriptome analysis of tomato flower pedicel tissues reveals abscission zone-specific modulation of key meristem activity genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Tomato flower abscises at the anatomically distinct abscission zone that separates the pedicel into basal and apical portions. During abscission, cell separation occurs only at the abscission zone indicating distinctive molecular regulation in its cells.

Epigenetic regulation in the shoot apical meristem
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2022 Epigenetic mechanisms form the basis of cellular memory, developmental decisions, and the cellular immune system that defends against transposons and viruses. Organs develop from the shoot apical meristem (SAM) to shape the plant's areal phenotype, and stem cells in the SAM serve as a functional germline.

Dose dependence of morphological changes and aberration to the plantation of pine in the Chernobyl NPP exclusion zone [PDF]
Ядерна фізика та енергетика, 2009 Dose rates to the Scots pine’ (Pinus sylvestris L.) apical meristem at three experimental sites were calculated. The morphological and cytogenetic changes of the trees were estimated, and the dependences of these changes on the dose rates to the apical ...
