Modelling meristem development in plants [PDF]
Meristems continually supply new cells for post-embryonic plant development and coordinate the initiation of new organs, such as leaves and flowers. Meristem function is regulated by a large and interconnected dynamic system that includes transcription networks, intercellular protein signalling, polarized transport of hormones and a constantly changing

Multiple feedback loops through cytokinin signaling control stem cell number within the Arabidopsis shoot meristem [PDF]
A central unanswered question in stem cell biology, both in plants and in animals, is how the spatial organization of stem cell niches are maintained as cells move through them.

Autoreproductive cells and plant meristem construction: The case of the tomato cap meristem [PDF]
Root apical meristems are composed of two zones in which either formative or proliferative cell divisions occur. Within the formative zone, autoreproductive initial cells (a-cells) occupy distinctive locations. By means of graph-L-systems, the behavior of one such type of a-cells has been investigated, with particular reference to root caps within the ...

Live imaging of above ground meristems can lead to new insights in plant development not possible from static imaging of fixed tissue. The use of an upright confocal microscope offers several technical and biological advantages for live imaging floral or

Increasing N deposition caused by intensive anthropogenic activities is expected to affect forest growth. However, the effects of N deposition on trees are still controversial due to the wide variability in results and experimental methods used.

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is the most widely cultivated fruit crop worldwide, contributing substantially to rural economies. The production cycle and productivity depend on seasonal cues and can range from a strongly deciduous habit in cool‐temperate

Trafficking and localization of KNOTTED1 related mRNAs in shoot meristems
Multicellular organisms use transcripts and proteins as signaling molecules for cell-to-cell communication. Maize KNOTTED1 (KN1) was the first homeodomain transcription factor identified in plants, and functions in maintaining shoot stem cells.

Grass Meristems II: Inflorescence Architecture, Flower Development and Meristem Fate [PDF]
Plant development depends on the activity of various types of meristems that generate organs such as leaves and floral organs throughout the life cycle. Grass species produce complex inflorescences and unique flowers. The grass inflorescence is composed of different types of branches, including a specialized branch called a spikelet.

Root architecture responds to environmental stress. Stress-induced metabolic and nutritional changes affect the endogenous root development program. Transcriptional and translational changes realize the switch between stem cell proliferation and cell ...

leafkin—An R package for automated kinematic data analysis of monocot leaves
Growth is one of the most studied plant responses. At the cellular level, plant growth is driven by cell division and cell expansion. A means to quantify these two cellular processes is through kinematic analysis, a methodology that has been developed ...
