Novel genome editing approaches to manipulate apical meristem activity for crop yield. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
Meristem 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.

Molecular Regulatory Mechanism of Inflorescence, Flower and Fruit Development in Tomato. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a globally important vegetable crop and a key model species for studying reproductive development in other Solanaceae members with edible fleshy fruits, such as eggplant, sweet and hot peppers, and Physalis spp.

Floral Initiation in Response to Planting Date Reveals the Key Role of Floral Meristem Differentiation Prior to Budding in Canola (Brassica napus L.). [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2016
In Brassica napus, floral development is a decisive factor in silique formation, and it is influenced by many cultivation practices including planting date.

The impact of asymmetrical gene expression on the development of spike morphology in <i>Triticum aestivum</i>. [PDF]

IMetaOmics
Wheat yield is primarily determined by panicle density per unit area, grain count per spike, and grain weight. The proliferation of wheat spikes affects both the number of grains per spike and grain weight. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms of

Old school, new rules: floral meristem development revealed by 3D gene expression atlases and high-resolution transcription factor–chromatin dynamics

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The intricate morphology of the flower is primarily established within floral meristems in which floral organs will be defined and from where the developing flower will emerge.

Paradigm and Framework of WUS-CLV Feedback Loop in Stem Cell Niche for SAM Maintenance and Cell Identity Transition

Agronomy, 2022
Shoot apical meristem (SAM) consists of stem cells that act as a reservoir for the aerial growth. It plays an important role in the differential architectural development in plants.

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.

It’s Time for a Change: The Role of Gibberellin in Root Meristem Development

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
One of the most amazing characteristics of plants is their ability to grow and adapt their development to environmental changes. This fascinating feature is possible thanks to the activity of meristems, tissues that contain lasting self-renewal stem ...

microRNA165 and 166 modulate response of the Arabidopsis root apical meristem to salt stress

Communications Biology, 2023
In plants, developmental plasticity allows for the modulation of organ growth in response to environmental cues. Being in contact with soil, roots are the first organ that responds to various types of soil abiotic stress such as high salt concentration ...

Arabidopsis Root Development Regulation by the Endogenous Folate Precursor, Para-Aminobenzoic Acid, via Modulation of the Root Cell Cycle

Plants, 2023
The continuous growth of roots depends on their ability to maintain a balanced ratio between cell production and cell differentiation at the tip. This process is regulated by the hormonal balance of cytokinin and auxin.
