Transcriptional control of a plant stem cell niche

ABSTRACT: We used a systems approach to identify target genes and genome wide chromatin binding preferences of the transcription factor WUSCHEL (WUS) in Arabidopsis thaliana. First, we recorded changes in the transcriptome after genetically perturbing the regulatory system of the stem cell niche at various developmental stages by loss-of-function and inducible over-expression alleles of WUS and its antagonist CLV3. Then, identified direct WUS target genes by chromatin immuno-precipitation (ChIP.
