Specification of epidermal cell fate in plant shoots
Land plants have evolved a single layer of epidermal cells, which are characterized by mostly anticlinal cell division patterns, formation of a waterproof coat called cuticle, and unique cell types such as stomatal guard cells and trichomes. The shoot epidermis plays important roles not only to protect plants from dehydration and pathogens but also to ensure their proper organogenesis and growt...
متن کاملHermaphrodite cell-fate specification.
There are two sexes in C. elegans, hermaphrodite and male. While there are many sex-specific differences between males and hermaphrodites that affect most tissues, the basic body plan and many of its structures are identical. However, most structures required for mating or reproduction are sexually dimorphic and are generated by sex-specific cell lineages. Thus to understand cell fate specifica...
متن کاملCell fate specification in the cereal endosperm.
While superficially simple, endosperm development is a complex, dynamic process. Cereal endosperms contain three major cell types: starchy endosperm, transfer cells and aleurone. The localized accumulation of the END1 transcript in the syncitial endosperm suggests that signals from the maternal placental tissue specify transfer cell type early. Aleurone fate is plastic and requires the continua...
متن کاملEnhancers: emerging roles in cell fate specification.
Enhancers are regulatory DNA elements that dictate the spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression during development. Recent evidence suggests that the distinct chromatin features of enhancer regions provide the permissive landscape required for the differential access of diverse signalling molecules that drive cell-specific gene expression programmes. The epigenetic patterning of enhance...
متن کاملEpidermal cell fate and patterning in leaves.
Cell differentiation requires that undifferentiated cells first be selected before becoming committed to a specific fate. The selection of precursor cells often is coordinated so that mature differentiated cells are distributed in a characteristic pattern. One of the simplest possible patterns in tissues is that in which a minimum distance is maintained between differentiated cells in a two-dim...
