The shoot apical meristem of higher plants is a self-maintaining stem cell system which gives rise to the entire above-ground part of a plant. In the past year, genetic and molecular studies have provided increasing insight into the processes of shoot meristem formation and maintenance, as well as into the relation between the apical meristem and its products.
高等植物的茎尖分生组织是一个自我维持的干细胞系统，它产生植物的整个地上部分。在过去的一年里，遗传学和分子研究对茎尖分生组织的形成和维持过程，以及顶端分生组织与其产物之间的关系有了越来越深入的了解。
