Epigenetics at the crossroads of secondary growth regulation
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The development of plant tissues and organs during post-embryonic growth occurs through the activity of both primary and secondary meristems. While primary meristems (root and shoot apical meristems) promote axial plant growth, secondary meristems ...

Then There Were Plenty-Ring Meristems Giving Rise to Many Stamen Whorls
Plants, 2021 Floral meristems are dynamic systems that generate floral organ primordia at their flanks and, in most species, terminate while giving rise to the gynoecium primordia. However, we find species with floral meristems that generate additional ring meristems

Vegetative Apical Meristems. [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1992 A fascinating aspect of plant biology is that a small cell group is the origin of shoot systems as varied as redwood trees or Arabidopsis. The first recognition that shoot systems originate from small groups of cells was by Kaspar Wolff in 1759 (cited in Cutter, 1965). These small groups of cells are known as shoot apical meristems.

Morphogenesis at the shoot meristem
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2023 Shoot apical meristems are populations of stem cells which initiate the aerial parts of higher plants. Work during the last decades has revealed a complex network of molecular regulators, which control both meristem maintenance and the production of different types of organs.

Autoreproductive cells and plant meristem construction: The case of the tomato cap meristem [PDF]
Protoplasma, 2001 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 ...

Effects of Osmolytic Agents on Somatic Embryogenesis of Saffron (<i>Crocus sativus </i>L.)
Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2015 A protocol for callus induction from meristem tissues and subsequent somatic embryo formation were established in this study. Explants were taken from apical and lateral meristems of saffron and these explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with

Meristem Maintenance in Maize [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2015 Stem cells in the shoot meristem are the ultimate source of aerial organs in plants. They shape the plant, determining the layout of branches, leaves, and flowers, and allow plants to produce new organs throughout their life cycle.
