摘要
Sustained post-embryonic organ initiation and development in plants depends on coordinating the formation and differentiation of pluripotent stem cells in apical meristems. Transcriptional regulation and intercellular signalling appear to play key roles in this coordination process. Here we discuss the current knowledge about the molecular regulation of stem cell maintenance in the shoot apical meristem and recent attempts to delineate the molecular signatures of "stemness" in flowering plants. We also outline contemporary molecular approaches for deciphering the process of stem cell renewal in the shoot apical meristem.
