Plants continuously maintain pools of totipotent stem cells in their apical meristems from which elaborate root and shoot systems are produced. In Arabidopsis thaliana, stem cell fate in the shoot apical meristem is controlled by a regulatory network that includes the CLAVATA (CLV) ligand-receptor system and the homeodomain protein WUSCHEL (WUS). Phytohormones such as auxin and cytokinin are also important for meristem regulation. Here we show a mechanistic link between the CLV/WUS network and h ...[more]
