QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE CHANGES IN SHOOT APICAL MERISTEM OF SAFFRON CROCUS DURING THE PERIOD OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Quantification of growth at the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis

In the process of morphogenesis primordia of lateral organs, like leaves or flowers, are formed at the shoot apical meristem (SAM). In order to maintain the ability to organ formation, the SAM itself has to be self-perpetuated, i.e. its general shape and size have to be maintained, despite the fact that portions of SAM periphery are continuously used up for lateral organ formation. Thus growth ...

The shoot apical meristem and development of vascular architecture1

The shoot apical meristem (SAM) functions to generate external architecture and internal tissue pattern as well as to maintain a self-perpetuating population of stem-cell-like cells. The internal three-dimensional architecture of the vascular system corresponds closely to the external arrangement of lateral organs, or phyllotaxis. This paper reviews this correspondence for dicotyledonous plants...

Initiation of shoot apical meristem in rice

In flowering plants, the fundamental body plan is constructed during embryogenesis. The fertilized egg first sets up apicalbasal, radial and dorsal-ventral axes, which are later partitioned to differentiate region-specific organs. The shoot and root apical meristems arise as terminal elements of apical-basal axes. The establishment of shoot apical meristem (SAM) during embryogenesis is a key ev...

Elastic domains regulate growth and organogenesis in the plant shoot apical meristem.

Although genetic control of morphogenesis is well established, elaboration of complex shapes requires changes in the mechanical properties of cells. In plants, the first visible sign of leaf formation is a bulge on the flank of the shoot apical meristem. Bulging results from local relaxation of cell walls, which causes them to yield to internal hydrostatic pressure. By manipulation of tissue te...
