Functional domains in plant shoot meristems Functional domains in plant shoot meristems Ulrike Brand, Martin Hobe, and RuÈdiger Simon* Summary The development of higher plants depends on the activity of a shoot apical meristem. Organs are formed on the flanks of the meristem, while pluripotent stem cells are found in a separate domain in the meristem centre. Further domains are distinguished by the expression patterns of genes that control the development of the shoot meristem. Although most
