Plant stem cells, as in animals, are maintained in specialized microenvironments, which are known as stem cell niches, where local signals from organizer cells act to prevent stem cell differentiation ...

Rhizophores arise from angle meristems located at shoot branch points in many species of Selaginella and produce roots at their distal ends. We reinvestigated the origin and development of rhizophores ...

The shoot apical meristem (SAM), a small group of undifferentiated dividing cells, is responsible for the continuous growth of plants. Several genes have been identified that control the development ...
