Decoding Dynamic Plant Meristems

Gatsby Charitable Foundation
Plant Sciences
All aerial parts of a plant originate from a small population of pluripotent cells within the shoot apical meristem (SAM). Far from being a static structure, the SAM is continuously changing in size, shape and cellular organisation as the plant develops. Read more
