Evolution of root apical meristem structures in vascular plants: plasmodesmatal networks [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2018 Premise of the studyThe apical meristem generates indeterminate apical growth of the stem and root of vascular plants. Our previous examination showed that shoot apical meristems (SAMs) can be classified into two types based on plasmodesmatal networks (PNs), which are important elements in symplasmic signaling pathways within the apical meristem. Here,

Organization of the root apical meristem in Linum usitatissimum L. grown at 25°C and 7°C
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015 In the first days of intensive growth of the Linum usitatissimum root, the central part of the apical meristem exhibits usually a 4-tier organization. When growth ceases reorganization of the cell arrangement occurs.

Phytoglobins Improve Hypoxic Root Growth by Alleviating Apical Meristem Cell Death [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2016 Hypoxic root growth in maize (Zea mays) is influenced by the expression of phytoglobins (ZmPgbs). Relative to the wild type, suppression of ZmPgb1.1 or ZmPgb1.2 inhibits the growth of roots exposed to 4% oxygen, causing structural abnormalities in the root apical meristems. These effects were accompanied by increasing levels of reactive oxygen species (

ABA-mediated ROS in mitochondria regulate root meristem activity by controlling PLETHORA expression in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Although research has determined that reactive oxygen species (ROS) function as signaling molecules in plant development, the molecular mechanism by which ROS regulate plant growth is not well known.
