Rare Natural SNP Activates SHOOT APICAL MERISTEM ENLARGER1 to Increase Branch Number and Silique Number on the Main Inflorescence in Brassica napus. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT Brassica napus is the second most important oil crop worldwide. Number of primary branches (Branch number, BN) and silique number on the main inflorescence (SMI) are key yieldârelated quantitative traits. Here, we cloned a major QTL, qDB.A09, which simultaneously influences BN and SMI.

Interplay between the shoot apical meristem and lateral organs. [PDF]
aBIOTECH, 2020 Tissues and organs within a living organism are coordinated, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) continually produces lateral organs, such as leaves, from its peripheral zone. Because of their close proximity, SAM and lateral organs interact during plant development.

Patterning at the shoot apical meristem and phyllotaxis
, 2019 The shoot apical meristem (SAM) generates all above-ground organs throughout the life of plants. The development and maintenance of the SAM are crucial for building the plant architecture. The spatiotemporal patterning of lateral organs (leaves and flowers), called phyllotaxis, is one of the best-characterized self-organizing systems and has long been ...

Metabolic aspects of organogenesis in the shoot apical meristem [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2006 Research over the last decade has led to tremendous advances in the characterization of the transcriptional networks involved in the initiation and maintenance of the shoot apical meristem (SAM), as well as the factors involved in the formation and development of leaves by this organ.

DNA synthesis in the nuclei of Pinus silvestris embryos during
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015 DNA synthesis starts earliest in the apical meristem of the shoot, and latest in the cotyledons. Mitoses appear simultaneously in the apical meristem and in the hypocotyl cortex.

Overexpression of the WOX5 gene inhibits shoot development
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX 5 (WOX5) is a member of the WUSCHEL (WUS) homeodomain transcription factor family. WOX5 is expressed mainly in the quiescent center (QC) and confers stem cell identity in the root apical meristem (RAM).

Active suppression of a leaf meristem orchestrates determinate leaf growth
eLife, 2016 Leaves are flat determinate organs derived from indeterminate shoot apical meristems. The presence of a specific leaf meristem is debated, as anatomical features typical of meristems are not present in leaves.
