Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: BIG regulates the shoot stem cell population. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) contains a population of self-renewing cells, and provides daughter cells for initiation and development of aerial parts of plants. However, the underlying mechanisms of SAM size regulation remain largely unclear. Here, we identified a mutant that displayed a large SAM, designated big-shoot meristem (big-m), in Arabidopsis...
