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 ...

The regulation of cell differentiation at meristems is crucial to developmental patterning in plants. Rapid progress has been made in identifying the genes that regulate differentiation and the ...

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 ...
