Abstract excerpt
Most organs of flowering plants develop postembryonically from groups of pluripotent cells called meristems [1]. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is specified by two complementary pathways [2-4]. SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM; [5]) defines the entire SAM region [6]. WUSCHEL (WUS), on the other hand, functions in a more restricted set of cells to promote stem-cell fate and is regulated by the CLAVATA genes in a negative...
