Stem cell regulation in the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem.
The aerial structure of higher plants is generated dynamically throughout the life cycle through the activity of stem cells that are located at the growing shoot tip, the apical meristem. The stem cells continuously divide to renew themselves and provide cells for leaf, stem and flower formation. Stem cell maintenance is governed by intercellular communication between the apical stem cells and ...
متن کاملStem cell regulation in the shoot meristem.
A small group of pluripotent stem cells in the shoot meristem is the ultimate source for all aerial parts in higher plants: the shoot axis, side branches, leaves and flowers. The stem cells are maintained in an undifferentiated state by signals from an underlying cell group, the organizing center. Genetic and molecular analyses have shown that a feedback signaling loop between stem cells and th...
متن کاملOBE3 and WUS Interaction in Shoot Meristem Stem Cell Regulation
The stem cells in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) are the origin of all above ground tissues in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, shoot meristem stem cells are maintained by the homeobox transcription factor gene WUS (WUSCHEL) that is expressed in cells of the organizing center underneath the stem cells. In order to identify factors that operate together with WUS in stem cell maintenance, we per...
متن کاملInitiation 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...
متن کاملPlasmodesmata-Mediated Cell-to-Cell Communication in the Shoot Apical Meristem: How Stem Cells Talk
Positional information is crucial for the determination of plant cell fates, and it is established based on coordinated cell-to-cell communication, which in turn is essential for plant growth and development. Plants have evolved a unique communication pathway, with tiny channels called plasmodesmata (PD) spanning the cell wall. PD interconnect most cells in the plant and generate a cytoplasmic ...
