Abstract excerpt
The shoot apical meristem (SAM) of angiosperms comprises a group of undifferentiated cells which divide to maintain the meristem and also give rise to all the above-ground structures of the plant. Previous studies revealed that the Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE10 [AGO10, also called PINHEAD (PNH) or ZWILLE (ZLL)] gene is one of the critical SAM regulators, but the mechanism by which AGO10 modulates the SAM is unknown. In...
