WUSCHEL (WUS) is thought to be required for the establishment of the shoot stem cell niche in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>. <i>HEADLESS</i> (<i>HDL</i>), a gene that encodes a WUS-related homeobox family transcription factor, is thought to be the <i>Medicago truncatula</i> ortholog of the <i>WUS</i> gene. <i>HDL</i> plays conserved roles in shoot apical meristem (SAM) and axillary meristem (AM) maintenance. <i>HDL</i> is also involved in compound leaf morphogenesis in <i>M. truncatula</i>; howeve ...[more]
