On the left, a young Arabidopsis plant is shown, with one of the root tips indicated by the yellow line. The yellow box shows a virtual section through a three-dimensional reconstruction of the root ...

Root apical meristem is the region within the growing root containing meristematic cells. At the heart of the root apical meristem are the cells of the quiescent centre. This study reveals that mobile ...

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 key to three-dimensional plant architecture lies in precise control over the orientation of cell division. Plant cells divide periclinally to grow radially—leading to thickening—while anticlinal ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 46, No. 282 (JANUARY 1995), pp. 19-25 (7 pages) DNA synthesis in cell nuclei and organelles in the root apical meristem of rice was analysed by anti-BrdU ...

Mutations drive evolution, but they can also be risky. New research led by plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, published Nov. 10 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...
