Shoot meristem formation and maintenance

M Lenhard et al. Curr Opin Plant Biol. 1999 Feb.

Abstract

The shoot apical meristem of higher plants is a self-maintaining stem cell system which gives rise to the entire above-ground part of a plant. In the past year, genetic and molecular studies have provided increasing insight into the processes of shoot meristem formation and maintenance, as well as into the relation between the apical meristem and its products.
