What genes are involved in the development of shoot in arabidopsis?
The development of the shoot in Arabidopsis involves a complex interplay of genes that regulate various aspects of shoot meristem activity, including stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and response to environmental stimuli. Key genes identified in this process include SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) and CLAVATA3 (CLV3), which antagonistically regulate shoot meristem development. STM is crucial for the development and maintenance of the meristem, while CLV3 negatively regulates meristem proliferation, with clv3 mutants exhibiting an enlarged shoot meristem . Additionally, the KNOTTED1-LIKE HOMEOBOX GENE 6 (KNAT6) works alongside STM to promote meristem development and organ separation . Strigolactones (SLs), regulated by the CCD7 and CCD8 genes, also play a significant role in shoot development by inhibiting axillary bud growth and branching, as demonstrated in wintersweet, a model for studying shoot branching . The WUSCHEL (WUS) and CLV3 regulatory loop is another critical component in maintaining stem cell homeostasis in Arabidopsis shoot apical meristems (SAMs), with WUS activating CLV3, which in turn regulates WUS levels through a signaling cascade . The GRAS family transcription factor SHORTROOT (SHR) and its target transcription factors, including SCARECROW (SCR), SCARECROW-LIKE23 (SCL23), and JACKDAW (JKD), are implicated in controlling shoot meristem size and promoting lateral organ formation by regulating cell division rates . Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), influenced by the GLCAT14A, GLCAT14B, and GLCAT14C genes, are involved in plant growth processes, including shoot development, by affecting the structure and function of cell walls . Sugar signaling, mediated by the sugar transporter protein 1 (STP1), affects shoot branching by regulating the expression of the BRANCHED1 (BRC1) gene, indicating a link between sugar availability and shoot branching . While the CLE16, CLE17, and CLE27 genes have largely redundant roles in the Arabidopsis SAM, they may regulate meristem activity under specific conditions . The clv3-2 and clv1 bam1 mutants demonstrate salt tolerance through increased cell division in the SAM, suggesting a role in stress tolerance . Lastly, auxin biosynthesis, mediated by TRYPTOPHAN AMINOTRANSFERASE family genes TAA1 and TAR2, is essential for the differentiation of stem cells into peripheral zone and rib meristem cell types, highlighting the importance of auxin in shoot meristem patterning .
