Signals derived from YABBY gene activities in organ primordia regulate growth and partitioning of Arabidopsis shoot apical meristems.
Shoot apical meristems (SAMs) are self-sustaining groups of cells responsible for the ordered initiation of all aerial plant tissues, including stems and lateral organs. The precise coordination of these processes argues for crosstalk between the different SAM domains. The products of YABBY (YAB) genes are limited to the organ primordium domains, which are situated at the periphery of all SAMs ...
متن کاملFunctional domains in plant shoot meristems.
The development of higher plants depends on the activity of a shoot apical meristem. Organs are formed on the flanks of the meristem, while pluripotent stem cells are found in a separate domain in the meristem centre. Further domains are distinguished by the expression patterns of genes that control the development of the shoot meristem. Although most plant cells are immobile, their relative po...
متن کاملThe ERECTA receptor kinase regulates Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem size, phyllotaxy and floral meristem identity
In plants, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) serves as a reservoir of pluripotent stem cells from which all above ground organs originate. To sustain proper growth, the SAM must maintain homeostasis between the self-renewal of pluripotent stem cells and cell recruitment for lateral organ formation. At the core of the network that regulates this homeostasis in Arabidopsis are the WUSCHEL (WUS) tra...
متن کاملShoot organization genes regulate shoot apical meristem organization and the pattern of leaf primordium initiation in rice.
The mechanism regulating the pattern of leaf initiation was analyzed by using shoot organization (sho) mutants derived from three loci (SHO1, SHO2, and SHO3). In the early vegetative phase, sho mutants show an increased rate of leaf production with random phyllotaxy. The resulting leaves are malformed, threadlike, or short and narrow. Their shoot apical meristems are relatively low and wide, th...
متن کاملShoot meristems: Intercellular signals keep the balance
Recent studies have identified a complex intercellular communication network which maintains the balance of indeterminate and determinate cells at the plant apical meristem. The widespread presence of homologous regulatory genes indicates that 'stemness' arose before the evolutionary split between plants and animals.
