The shoot meristem of land plants maintains the capacity for organ generation throughout its
lifespan due to a group of undifferentiated stem cells. Most meristems are shaped like a …

A fascinating feature of plant growth and development is that plants initiate organs
continually throughout their lifespan. The ability to do this relies on specialized groups of …

The establishment of symbiotic nitrogen fixation requires the coordination of both nodule
development and infection events. Despite the evolution of a variety of anatomical …

Plants, unlike animals, have developed a unique system in which they continue to form
organs throughout their entire life cycle, even after embryonic development. This is possible …

The shoot and root system architectures are fundamental for crop productivity. During the
history of artificial selection of domestication and post-domestication breeding, the …

Heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins are key regulators of a multitude of signaling pathways
in all eukaryotes. Although the core G-protein components and their basic biochemistries …

Meristems are stem cell-containing structures that produce all plant organs and are therefore
important targets for crop improvement. Developmental regulators control the balance and …

Heterotrimeric G proteins are important transducers of receptor signaling, functioning in
plants with CLAVATA receptors in controlling shoot meristem size and with pathogen …

Structural variation in plant genomes is a significant driver of phenotypic variability in traits
important for the domestication and productivity of crop species. Among these are traits that …

The shoot apical meristem at the growing shoot tip acts a stem cell reservoir that provides
cells to generate the entire above-ground architecture of higher plants. Many agronomic …
