Shoot meristems are maintained by pluripotent stem cells that are controlled by CLAVATA-
WUSCHEL feedback signaling. This pathway, which coordinates stem cell proliferation with …

Multicellular organisms possess pluripotent stem cells to form new organs, replenish the
daily loss of cells, or regenerate organs after injury. Stem cells are maintained in specific …

Understanding genomic functions requires site-specific manipulation of loci via efficient
protein effector targeting systems. However, few approaches for targeted manipulation of the …

Shoot meristems of plants are composed of stem cells that are continuously replenished
through a classical feedback circuit involving the homeobox WUSCHEL (WUS) gene and …

WUSCHEL (WUS) is a homeodomain transcription factor produced in cells of the
niche/organizing center (OC) of shoot apical meristems. WUS specifies stem cell fate and …

The indeterminate nature of plant growth and development depends on the stem cell system
found in meristems. The Arabidopsis thaliana vascular meristem includes procambium and …

Precise control of plant stem cell proliferation is necessary for the continuous and
reproducible development of plant organs,. The peptide ligand CLAVATA3 (CLV3) and its …

Land plants evolved a long-distance transport system of water and nutrients composed of
the xylem and phloem, both of which are generated from the procambium-and cambium …

The astonishingly long lives of plants and their regeneration capacity depend on the activity
of plant stem cells. As in animals, stem cells reside in stem cell niches, which produce …

The shoot apical meristem of angiosperm plants generates leaf, stem and floral structures
throughout the plant's lifetime. To do this, the plant must maintain a population of stem cells …
