Abstract excerpt
Shoot apical meristems (SAMs) harbor a set of stem-cells which supply cells for the development of all above-ground structures. A precise spatio-temporal control of growth patterns in stem-cells and the differentiating progeny is critical to maintain a stable set of stem-cells. In recent years, an array of approaches including molecular genetics, transient perturbations, live-imaging, image processing and...
