WUSCHEL RELATED HOMEOBOX 5 is a master regulator of stem cell maintenance, and a recent study reveals that miR160 molecules move within the root apical meristem to regulate its activity. Anna ...

In Arabidopsis, SEU and SLK2 are redundant components of a regulatory complex that is proposed to promote shoot apical meristem (SAM) formation during embryogenesis. Expression analysis indicates that ...
