Characterization of Tomato Transcription Factor WUSCHEL and Functional Study in Arabidopsis
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012 : The homeobox transcription factor WUSCHEL (WUS) plays a critical role in keeping the balance between the maintenance and differentiation of stem cell population in shoot and floral meristems of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Functional Diversification of euANT/PLT Genes in Oryza sativa Panicle Architecture Determination
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Grain yield, which is one of the most important traits in rice breeding, is controlled in part by panicle branching patterns. Numerous genes involved in the control of panicle architecture have been identified through mutant and QTL characterization ...

Sphingolipid biosynthesis modulates plasmodesmal ultrastructure and phloem unloading [PDF]
, 2019 During phloem unloading, multiple cell-to-cell transport events move organic substances to the root meristem. Although the primary unloading event from the sieve elements to the phloem pole pericycle has been characterized to some extent, little is known about post-sieve element unloading. Here, we report a novel gene, PHLOEM UNLOADING MODULATOR (PLM),

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.

LRR-containing receptors regulating plant development and defense [PDF]
, 2004 Despite the presence of more than 400 genes that encode receptor-like kinases (RLKs) in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, very little is known about the range of biological processes that they control, or the mechanisms by which they function. This review

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 ...

Cell type boundaries organize plant development
eLife, 2017 In plants the dorsoventral boundary of leaves defines an axis of symmetry through the centre of the organ separating the top (dorsal) and bottom (ventral) tissues.

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 ...

Comparison of Domain Nucleation Mechanisms in a Minimal Model of Shoot Apical Meristem [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Existing mathematical models of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) explain nucleation and confinement of a stem cell domain by Turing's mechanism, assuming that the diffusion coefficients of the activator (WUSCHEL) and inhibitor (CLAVATA) are significantly different.
