Plants maintain the ability to form lateral appendages throughout their life cycle and form leaves as the principal lateral appendages of the stem. Leaves initiate at the peripheral zone of the shoot apical meristem a...
The shoot apical meristem (SAM), which produces all the aerial parts of the plant, plays a major role in the establish- ment of plant architecture. In many higher plants, the SAM has a stereotypic organization in zo...
The green and lush Mt. Tai provided an appropriate backdrop for the First International Conference on Plant Meristem Biology held on June 9 and 10, 2016. Proposed and organized by Xian Sheng Zhang (Shandong Agricultu...
