Cell-cell signaling in the shoot meristem

Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2001 Oct;4(5):441-6. doi: 10.1016/s1369-5266(00)00198-9.

Abstract

The shoot meristem is a proliferating, changing cell population yet displays a stable organization. Recent studies have addressed how signaling processes coordinate the behaviour of shoot meristem cells.
