Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 54, No. 392 (November 2003), pp. 2511-2517 (7 pages) Understanding the complete picture of floral transition is still impaired by the fact that physiological ...

Plants regenerate using pluripotent callus tissues and initiating the de novo formation of shoot apical meristem (SAM). However, the mechanisms governing the efficiency of regeneration are unclear.

In Arabidopsis, SEU and SLK2 are redundant components of a regulatory complex that is proposed to promote shoot apical meristem (SAM) formation during embryogenesis. Expression analysis indicates that ...

Arabidopsis thaliana shoot apical meristem with multiple flowers radiating out from centre at different stages of development (left) and the shoot apex under a scanning electron microscope where the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A Purdue University study has uncovered mechanisms that lead to stem cell formation and maintenance in plants. The findings may one day allow scientists to manipulate stem cell ...

Plants have the unique ability to regenerate entirely from a somatic cell, i.e., an ordinary cell that does not typically participate in reproduction. This process involves the de novo (or new) ...

Many external factors determine the growth of a plant. Light, nutrient and water supply, temperature, and the availability of carbon dioxide. In particular, sudden environmental stress, such as heat, ...
