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.

Molecular dissection of the pea shoot apical meristem* [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2009 The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is responsible for the development of all the above-ground parts of a plant. Our understanding of the SAM at the molecular level is incomplete. This study investigates the gene expression repertoire of SAMs in the garden pea (Pisum sativum).

Pattern formation during de novo assembly of the Arabidopsis shoot meristem [PDF]
, 2007 Most multicellular organisms have a capacity to regenerate tissue after wounding. Few, however, have the ability to regenerate an entire new body from adult tissue. Induction of new shoot meristems from cultured root explants is a widely used, but poorly

Investigating the Shape of the Shoot Apical Meristem in Bamboo Using a Superellipse Equation
Bio-Protocol, 2017 The shoot apical meristem is the origin of bamboo wood. Its structure and morphology are important for maintaining the normal development of bamboo wood. However, the traditional method to describe the morphology of the shoot apical meristem in bamboo or

Control of Arabidopsis apical-basal embryo polarity by antagonistic transcription factors. [PDF]
, 2010 Plants, similarly to animals, form polarized axes during embryogenesis on which cell differentiation and organ patterning programs are orchestrated. During Arabidopsis embryogenesis, establishment of the shoot and root stem cell populations occurs at ...

Shoot stem cell specification in roots by the WUSCHEL transcription factor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The WUSCHEL homeobox transcription factor is required to specify stem-cell identity at the shoot apical meristem and its ectopic expression is sufficient to induce de novo shoot meristem formation.

Reflections on the Triptych of Meristems That Build Flowering Branches in Tomato
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Branching is an important component determining crop yield. In tomato, the sympodial pattern of shoot and inflorescence branching is initiated at floral transition and involves the precise regulation of three very close meristems: (i) the shoot apical ...

Increase in Tomato Locule Number Is Controlled by Two Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms Located [PDF]
, 2011 In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit, the number of locules (cavities containing seeds that are derived from carpels) varies from two to up to 10 or more.
