Role of WUSCHEL in Regulating Stem Cell Fate in the Arabidopsis Shoot Meristem
TL;DR: It is shown that WUS encodes a novel homeodomain protein which presumably acts as a transcriptional regulator and suggests that stem cells in the shoot meristem are specified by an underlying cell group which is established in the 16-cell embryo and becomes localized to its prospective domain of function by asymmetric cell divisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Stem Cell Population of Arabidopsis Shoot Meristems Is Maintained by a Regulatory Loop between the CLAVATA and WUSCHEL Genes
TL;DR: This paper showed that the shoot meristem has properties of a self-regulatory system in which WUS/CLV interactions establish a feedback loop between the stem cells and the underlying organizing center.
Journal ArticleDOI
The WUSCHEL gene is required for shoot and floral meristem integrity in Arabidopsis.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the WUS gene is specifically required for central meristem identity of shoot and floral meristems to maintain their structural and functional integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conserved factors regulate signalling in Arabidopsis thaliana shoot and root stem cell organizers
Ananda K. Sarkar,Marijn Luijten,Shunsuke Miyashima,Michael Lenhard,Michael Lenhard,Takashi Hashimoto,Keiji Nakajima,Ben Scheres,Renze Heidstra,Thomas Laux +9 more
TL;DR: Together, the data indicate that stem cell maintenance signalling in both meristems employs related regulators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression dynamics of WOX genes mark cell fate decisions during early embryonic patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Achim Haecker,Rita Groß-Hardt,Bernd Geiges,Ananda K. Sarkar,Holger Breuninger,Marita Herrmann,Thomas Laux +6 more
TL;DR: During plant embryogenesis region-specific transcription programs are initiated very early in single precursor cells and that WOX genes play an important role in this process, suggesting that the asymmetric division of the plant zygote separates determinants of apical and basal cell fates.
