Abstract excerpt
The function of the SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) gene in shoot and floral meristems throughout Arabidopsis development has been analyzed. The results show that STM plays a major role in maintaining shoot and floral meristems. In an allelic series of stm mutants the shoot meristem was either reduced or completely absent in mature embryos and mutant seedling cotyledons showed partial fusion, indicating that the STM...
