Stem cells in plants constantly supply daughter to form new organs and are expected safeguard the integrity of from biological invasion. Here, we show how stem Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem their nascent suppress infection by cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). The cell regulator WUSCHEL responds CMV represses accumulation central peripheral zones. inhibits viral protein synthesis repressing expression plant S-adenosyl-l-methionine-dependent methyltransferases, which involved ribosomal RNA...
The ERECTA family genes, (ER), ERECTA-LIKE1 (ERL1), and ERECTA-LIKE2 (ERL2), encode leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases in Arabidopsis thaliana. Knocking out these three genes can cause severe phenotypes, which indicates that they play significant roles plant growth development. However, the molecular mechanism within remains unclear. Here we show short hypocotyl phenotypes of er erl1 erl2 mutants are mainly due to defects cell elongation rather than division. On contrary,...
