Crop yield improvement requires optimization of shoot architecture, and can be facilitated by understanding shoot apical meristem (SAM) development. Maize, as one of the most important cereal crops worldwide, is also a model system and has significantly contributed to our fundamental understanding of SAM development. In this review, we focus on recent progress and will discuss communication between different meristem regulators, including CLAVATA receptors and ligands, transcription factors, small RNAs and hormones, as well as the importance of communication between different SAM regions.
作物产量的提高需要优化茎结构，而了解茎尖分生组织（SAM）的发育则可以促进这一目标的实现。玉米作为全球最重要的谷类作物之一，也是一种模式系统，为我们对 SAM 发育的基本理解做出了重要贡献。在这篇综述中，我们将重点介绍最新的研究进展，并讨论不同分生组织调节剂之间的交流，包括 CLAVATA 受体和配体、转录因子、小 RNA 和激素，以及不同 SAM 区域之间交流的重要性。
