The vegetative shoot apical meristem of seed plants is the site of new leaf and stem formation. In the past few years genes that regulate fundamental aspects of shoot growth and development have been discovered. The recent study of these genes and their products through the use of appropriate mutants has opened new doors to understanding the molecular mechanisms of shoot apical meristem function.
种子植物的营养茎尖分生组织是新叶和茎形成的部位。在过去几年里，人们发现了调控茎生长和发育基本方面的基因。最近通过使用合适的突变体对这些基因及其产物进行的研究，为理解茎尖分生组织功能的分子机制打开了新的大门。
