Abstract excerpt
WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX (WOX) genes are plant specific transcription factors that serve as master switches controlling key developmental programs from embryo apical-basal asymmetric patterning to organizing stem cells and development of lateral organs. Recently, we reported the requirement of a WOX1/MAW-like gene, STENOFOLIA (STF), for blade outgrowth and leaf vascular patterning in Medicago truncatula and...
