Abstract
Genetic networks that regulate meristem transitions were recurrent targets of selection during crop domestication and allow fine-tuning of plant architecture for improved crop productivity.
Highlights
Changes in the activity of conserved meristem regulators result in quantitative variation in shoot and inflorescence architecture
Tuning the expression of conserved meristem regulators by genome editing allows engineering plant architecture for crop improvement
Targeting conserved meristem regulators by genome editing facilitates the rapid improvement of underutilized crops and de novo domestication of wild species
Summary
Changes in the activity of conserved meristem regulators result in quantitative variation in shoot and inflorescence architecture. Tuning the expression of conserved meristem regulators by genome editing allows engineering plant architecture for crop improvement.
