Specification of Epidermal Cell Fate in Plant Shoots [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Land plants have evolved a single layer of epidermal cells, which are characterized by mostly anticlinal cell division patterns, formation of a waterproof coat called cuticle, and unique cell types such as stomatal guard cells and trichomes.

Strategy for shoot meristem proliferation in plants [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2011 Shoot apical meristem (SAM) of plants harbors stem cells capable of generating the aerial tissues including reproductive organs. Therefore, it is very important for plants to control SAM proliferation and its density as a survival strategy. The SAM is regulated by the dynamics of a specific gene network, such as the WUS-CLV interaction of A.

A Statistical Description of Plant Shoot Architecture [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Plant architectures can be characterized statistically by their spatial density function, which specifies the probability of finding a branch at each location in the territory occupied by a plant. Using high-precision 3D scanning, we analyzed 557 plant shoot architectures, representing three species, grown across three to five environmental conditions,
