Abstract
Plant development is a continuous process, mainly due to the presence of stem cell niches within the root and shoot. The interplay between a host of transcription factors determines whether the cells within the meristem maintain their stem cell state, differentiate into leaves or form secondary meristems, which develop into shoots and flowers. Several recent studies provide new insight into how transcription factors and phytohormones interact within meristems to control cell proliferation and differentiation.Mesh:
