The epidermis both drives and restricts plant shoot growth.

Nature - 8 Mar 2007

Savaldi-Goldstein Sigal, Peto Charles, Chory Joanne

Abstract excerpt

The size of an organism is genetically determined, yet how a plant or animal achieves its final size is largely unknown. The shoot of higher plants has a simple conserved body plan based on three major tissue systems: the epidermal (L1), sub-epidermal (L2) and inner ground and vascular (L3) tissues. Which tissue system drives or restricts growth has been a subject of debate for over a century. Here, we use dwarf,...
