Plant stem cell niches, the meristems, require long-distance transport of energy metabolites and signaling molecules along phloem tissue. However, currently it is unclear how specification cells controlled. Here we show that genes SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2 1-LIKE3 (SMXL3), SMXL4, SMXL5 act as cell-autonomous key regulators formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. The three form an uncharacterized subclade SMXL gene family mediates hormonal strigolactone karrikin signaling. Strigolactones are endogenous...
ABSTRACT A reduced rate of stem cell division is considered a widespread feature which ensures the integrity genetic information during somatic development plants and animals. Radial growth plant shoots roots cell-driven process that fundamental for mechanical physiological support enlarging bodies. In most dicotyledonous species, underlying niche, cambium, generates xylem inwards phloem outwards. Despite importance intriguing dynamics functional characterization its cells hampered by lack...
Precise organization of growing structures is a fundamental process in developmental biology. In plants, radial growth mediated by the cambium, stem cell niche continuously producing wood (xylem) and bast (phloem) strictly bidirectional manner. While this contributes large parts to terrestrial biomass, cambium dynamics eludes direct experimental access due obstacles live-cell imaging. Here, we present cell-based computational model visualizing activity integrating function central...
