Disease relevance of Meristem

 

High impact information on Meristem

  • Floral meristem identity genes LEAFY (LFY) and APETALA1 (AP1) promote establishment and maintenance of floral identity in newly formed floral primordia [4].
  • Without such repression, continued AGL24 expression in floral meristems is sufficient to cause floral reversion regardless of the activation of floral organ identity genes [4].
  • We propose a role for AtPIN4 in generating a sink for auxin below the quiescent center of the root meristem that is essential for auxin distribution and patterning [5].
  • FASCIATA genes for chromatin assembly factor-1 in arabidopsis maintain the cellular organization of apical meristems [6].
  • We also show that AG represses WUS at later stages of floral development, thus creating a negative feedback loop that is required for the determinate growth of floral meristems [7].

Associations of Meristem with chemical compounds

  • The fasciated ear2 gene encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein that regulates shoot meristem proliferation in maize [18].
  • We next treated the meristems with two inhibitors of DNA synthesis, aphidicolin and hydroxyurea [19].
  • We showed in a previous study that administration of an exogenous expansin protein can trigger the initiation of leaflike structures on the shoot apical meristem of tomato [20].
  • A rice glutamate receptor-like gene is critical for the division and survival of individual cells in the root apical meristem [21].
  • Three markers were identified that are expressed, respectively, in the embryonic and seedling root tip (POLARIS), cotyledons and shoot and root apices (EXORDIUM), and root cap (COLUMELLA) [22].
 

Gene context of Meristem

  • CLV3 acts nonautonomously in meristems and is expressed at the meristem surface overlying the CLV1 domain [23].
  • However, unlike CEN, TFL1 is also expressed during the vegetative phase, where it delays the commitment to inflorescence development and thus affects the timing of the formation of the inflorescence meristem as well as its identity [24].
  • Here, ABI1 was shown to regulate stomatal aperture in leaves and mitotic activity in root meristems [25].
  • Together with the expression pattern of the DET3 gene revealed by GFP fluorescence, our data provide in vivo evidence for a role for the V-ATPase in the control of cell elongation and in the regulation of meristem activity [26].
  • The physical association of the PNY and BP proteins suggests that they participate in a complex that regulates early patterning events in the inflorescence meristem [27].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Meristem

  • In situ hybridization studies have demonstrated that EMF2 RNA is found in developing embryos, in both the vegetative and the reproductive shoot meristems, and in lateral organ primordia [28].
  • Microarray analysis identified four mRNA species with altered expression in two alleles of amp1, including upregulation of CYP78A5, which has been shown to mark the shoot apical meristem boundary [29].
  • Concurrent measurements by velocity sedimentation, autoradiography, and cytophotometry of isolated nuclei indicated that the extrachromosomal molecules were associated with root-tip cells that stopped dividing and differentiated from G2 phase but not with those that stopped dividing and differentiated from G1 phase [30].
  • The acidic protein bovine serum albumin and soluble maize root tip protein have no noticeable effect on the titration curves, whereas the basic protein protamine exerts a profound effect [31].
  • Promoter-reporter and RT-PCR analysis confirms expression of the KNAT6 gene in roots, and in particular in the phloem tissue close to the site of lateral root initiation, though not in the primary or lateral root meristem [32].
