Flowers and shoots are derived from specialized groups of stem cells termed meristems. Recent studies in Arabidopsis have identified factors that contribute to meristem structure and identity, such as CLAVATA1, CLAVATA3, and SHOOTMERISTEMLESS, which act in both shoot and flower meristems, as well as LEAFY and APETALA1 which specifically determine a floral fate.
花和嫩枝源自被称为分生组织的特殊干细胞群。拟南芥的最新研究已鉴定出有助于分生组织结构和特性的因子,比如在茎尖分生组织和花分生组织中都起作用的CLAVATA1、CLAVATA3和无茎尖分生组织基因,以及专门决定花发育命运的叶状基因和花被片A1基因。
