简介
Highlights
- The cambium in plants and the ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) in the vertebrate eye produce tissues in a bidirectional manner.
- Homeobox transcription factors are key regulators of the cambium and the CMZ.
- Intercellular signaling cascades are essential for the patterning of both the cambium and the CMZ.
- The comparison of regulatory principles found in the cambium and the CMZ helps to reveal commonalities of bifacial stem cell niches.
Embryonic development is key for determining the architecture and shape of multicellular bodies. However, most cells are produced postembryonically in, at least partly, differentiated organs. In this regard, organismal growth faces common challenges in coordinating expansion and function of body structures. Here we compare two examples for postembryonic growth processes from two different kingdoms of life to reveal common regulatory principles: lateral growth of plants …
