Light Signaling in Bud Outgrowth and Branching in Plants
Plants, 2014 Branching determines the final shape of plants, which influences adaptation, survival and the visual quality of many species. It is an intricate process that includes bud outgrowth and shoot extension, and these in turn respond to environmental cues and ...

Effect of Meristem Position and Medium on in Vitro Meristem Culture of Alstroemeria [PDF]
HortScience, 1997 Meristems from three different positions were excised from in vitro plants of Alstroemeria genotype A30. Explants were removed from the most-distal vegetative shoot apical meristems, rhizome tip apical meristems, and rhizome tip axillary meristems. Meristems were cultured on four different media to compare the effect of meristem position and medium on ...

Root Meristem Maintenance Mechanisms are Key to Plant Defense Against Nanoplastics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Small nanoplastics can disrupt cell integrity and inhibit cell division in meristem zone of plant root. The plants can counteract the cell damage by upregulating genes associated with root meristem maintenance and increasing auxin accumulation by PIN2 transport inhibition.

Abscisic Acid: Hidden Architect of Root System Structure
Plants, 2015 Plants modulate root growth in response to changes in the local environment, guided by intrinsic developmental genetic programs. The hormone Abscisic Acid (ABA) mediates responses to different environmental factors, such as the presence of nitrate in the

Genetic Analysis of Axillary Meristem Development in Arabidopsis: Roles of MIR164, CUC1, CUC2, CUC3 and LAS, and identification of novel regulators. [PDF]
, 2007 Aerial architecture and reproductive success in higher plants is determined by the formation of secondary axes of growth which are formed by axillary meristems initiated post-embryonically in the axils of leaves.

Arabidopsis ULTRAVIOLET-B-INSENSITIVE4 maintains cell division activity by temporal inhibition of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome [PDF]
, 2011 The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a multisubunit ubiquitin ligase that regulates progression through the cell cycle by marking key cell division proteins for destruction.
