Abstract excerpt
One of the most fundamental events in plant ontogeny is the specification of the shoot and root apical meristem (SAM and RAM) in embryogenesis. In Arabidopsis, the restricted expression of class III homeodomain leucine zipper (HD-ZIP III) transcription factors (TFs) at the central-apical domain of early embryos is required for the correct specification of the SAM and RAM. Because the expression of HD-ZIP III TFs...
