meristem maintenance

It is well known that abscisic acid (ABA) can halt meristems for long periods without loss of meristem function, and can also… Expand

Cell-to-cell transport in plants occurs through cytoplasmic channels called “plasmodesmata” and is regulated by developmental and… Expand

Endoreduplication involves a doubling of chromosomal DNA without corresponding cell division. In plants, many cell types transit… Expand

Plant organs originate from meristems where stem cells are maintained to produce continuously daughter cells that are the source… Expand

One of the most significant features of plant development is the way in which it can be elaborated and modulated throughout the… Expand

To elucidate the genetic mechanism that regulates meristem maintenance in monocots, here we have examined the function of the… Expand

Plant shoot development depends on the perpetuation of a group of undifferentiated cells in the shoot apical meristem (SAM). In… Expand

The knotted1 (kn1) gene of maize is expressed in meristems and is absent from leaves, including the site of leaf initiation… Expand

The product of the maize homeobox gene, knotted1 (kn1), localizes to the nuclei of cells in shoot meristems, but is absent from… Expand

Self perpetuation of the shoot meristem is essential for the repetitive initiation of shoot structures during plant development… Expand
