Ready, aim, shoot: stem cell regulation of the shoot apical meristem

Cara L Soyars et al. Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2016 Feb.

Abstract

Plant shoot meristems contain stem cells that are continuously renewed to replenish cells that exit and differentiate during lateral organ formation. Complex cell-to-cell signaling systems balance division and differentiation. These center on ligand-receptor networks, hormone pathways, and transcriptional regulators that function in an integrated manner. In this review, we aim to highlight new findings in shoot stem cell regulation across species.
