Stem cell regulation in the shoot meristem.

Abstract excerpt

A small group of pluripotent stem cells in the shoot meristem is the ultimate source for all aerial parts in higher plants: the shoot axis, side branches, leaves and flowers. The stem cells are maintained in an undifferentiated state by signals from an underlying cell group, the organizing center. Genetic and molecular analyses have shown that a feedback signaling loop between stem cells and the organizing center...
