Morphogenetic processes in shoot apical meristem culture of wheat and their relationship

Initiation of shoot apical meristem in rice

In flowering plants, the fundamental body plan is constructed during embryogenesis. The fertilized egg first sets up apicalbasal, radial and dorsal-ventral axes, which are later partitioned to differentiate region-specific organs. The shoot and root apical meristems arise as terminal elements of apical-basal axes. The establishment of shoot apical meristem (SAM) during embryogenesis is a key ev...

Symplasmic fields in the tunica of the shoot apical meristem coordinate morphogenetic events.

In plants, complex cellular interactions, which require the exchange of morphogenetic signals, underlie morphogenesis at the shoot apical meristem. Since all apical meristem cells are interconnected by plasmodesmata, we have investigated if symplasmic paths are available which may preferentially channel metabolites and potential morphogens in the apical meristem, and whether they could support ...

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE CHANGES IN SHOOT APICAL MERISTEM OF SAFFRON CROCUS DURING THE PERIOD OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

MicroRNAs in the shoot apical meristem of soybean.

Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in various developmental processes. In this study, we characterize the miRNA profile of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) of an important legume crop, soybean, by integrating high-throughput sequencing data with miRNA microarray analysis. A total of 8423 non-redundant sRNAs were obtained from two libraries derived from micro-dissected SAM or ...

Reaction-Diffusion Pattern in Shoot Apical Meristem of Plants

A fundamental question in developmental biology is how spatial patterns are self-organized from homogeneous structures. In 1952, Turing proposed the reaction-diffusion model in order to explain this issue. Experimental evidence of reaction-diffusion patterns in living organisms was first provided by the pigmentation pattern on the skin of fishes in 1995. However, whether or not this mechanism p...
