In this review we describe how concepts of shoot apical meristem function have developed over time. The role of the scientist is emphasized, as proposer, receiver and evaluator of ideas about the shoot apical meristem. Models have become increasingly popular over the last 250 years, and we consider their role. They provide valuable grounding for the development of hypotheses, but in addition they have a strong human element and their uptake relies on various degrees of persuasion. The most influential models are probably those that most data support, consolidating them as an insight into reality; but they also work by altering how we see meristems, re-directing us to influence the data we collect and the questions we consider meaningful.

在本综述中，我们描述了茎尖分生组织功能的概念是如何随着时间的推移而发展的。强调了科学家作为茎尖分生组织相关观点的提出者、接受者和评估者的角色。在过去的250年里，模型越来越受欢迎，我们探讨了它们的作用。它们为假说的发展提供了有价值的基础，但此外它们还带有强烈的人为因素，其被采纳依赖于不同程度的说服力。最具影响力的模型可能是那些得到最多数据支持的模型，这些模型将数据整合起来，成为对现实的一种洞察；但它们的作用还在于改变我们看待分生组织的方式，引导我们去影响所收集的数据以及认为有意义的问题。目录 摘要37 一、引言37 二、事情的开端38 三、细胞学39 四、形态学41 五、发育遗传学44 六、结论49 致谢50 参考文献50 。
