TLDR
The results provide important insights into the molecular framework for cytokinin-directed shoot regeneration and reveal a two-step mechanism for de novo activation of WUS, the homeodomain transcription factor for Arabidopsis thaliana.Abstract:
Plant cells are totipotent and competent to regenerate from differentiated organs. It has been known for six decades that cytokinin-rich medium induces shoot regeneration from callus cells. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. The homeodomain transcription factor WUSCHEL (WUS) is essential for de novo establishment of the shoot stem cell niche in Arabidopsis thaliana We found that WUS-positive (WUS+) cells mark the shoot progenitor region during regeneration. A cytokinin-rich environment initially promotes the removal of the repressive histone mark H3K27me3 at the WUS locus in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Subsequently, the B-type ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATORs (ARRs) ARR1, ARR2, ARR10, and ARR12, which function as transcriptional activators in the cytokinin signaling pathway, spatially activate WUS expression through binding with microRNA165/6-targeted HD-ZIP III transcription factors. Thus, our results provide important insights into the molecular framework for cytokinin-directed shoot regeneration and reveal a two-step mechanism for de novo activation of WUS.read more

Silencing Arabidopsis CARBOXYL-TERMINAL DOMAIN PHOSPHATASE-LIKE 4 induces cytokinin-oversensitive de novo shoot organogenesis.
TL;DR: Results indicated that CPL4 functions in multiple regulatory pathways that positively and negatively affect DNSO, and resulted in increased phosphorylation levels of RNA polymerase II (pol II) CTD and altered lateral root development and DNSO efficiency of the host plants.

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.
