Plant meristems represent specialised tissues housing pluripotent stem cells that underpin continuous growth and organ formation. The intricate regulation of these stem cells is mediated by a complex ...

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) were combined to analyse the chromatin state of lateral organ ...

A team of researchers has found a mechanism in thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) which enables plants to provide protection against salt stress for their sensitive stem cells in the meristem at the ...
