Inflorescence structures result from the activities of meristems, which coordinate both the renewal of stem cells in the center and organ formation at the periphery. The fate of a meristem is ...

• Background and Aims The morphological variability of the flower in angiosperms, combined with its relatively simple structure, makes it an excellent model to study cell specification and the ...

Mutually repressive interactions between KNOX proteins and AS1 and AS2 proteins contribute to the delimitation of leaf founder cells in the shoot apex of Arabidopsis. ARP MYB-like proteins are ...

Plants form new leaves, flowers and roots at the tips of shoots and roots, in specific growth regions known as meristems. These meristems contain stem cells that divide as needed and form new cells ...

Many external factors determine the growth of a plant. Light, nutrient and water supply, temperature, and the availability of carbon dioxide. In particular, sudden environmental stress, such as heat, ...
