Plant meristems: cell signalling keeps the balance

Curr Biol. 1997 Jul 1;7(7):R427-9. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(06)00209-0.

Abstract

Genetic and molecular analysis in Arabidopsis has identified components of a putative cell signalling pathway that appears to regulate the balance between stem cell proliferation and fate specification in meristems.
