Evolution and development: What makes a merry stem?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle (Academic Journal)

Abstract

From tiny mosses to giant redwoods, around 450,000 species of land plants show a huge variety of forms, yet all land plants develop from stem cells in proliferative meristems. What makes a meristem? Two new papers suggest that low auxin signalling holds the key.
