CLAVATA-WUSCHEL signaling in the shoot meristem

Marc Somssich et al. Development. .

Abstract

Shoot meristems are maintained by pluripotent stem cells that are controlled by CLAVATA-WUSCHEL feedback signaling. This pathway, which coordinates stem cell proliferation with differentiation, was first identified in Arabidopsis, but appears to be conserved in diverse higher plant species. In this Review, we highlight the commonalities and differences between CLAVATA-WUSCHEL pathways in different species, with an emphasis on Arabidopsis, maize, rice and tomato. We focus on stem cell control in shoot meristems, but also briefly discuss the role of these signaling components in root meristems.

Keywords: Arabidopsis; CLAVATA-WUSCHEL; Maize; Rice; Shoot meristem; Signaling; Tomato.
