Abstract

Plant stem cells are mainly located in the shoot apical meristem, root apical meristem and vascular cambium, which possess self-renewal and diverse differentiational potential in plants. Stem cells can maintain the size of their own cell population through cell division, or differentiate into various tissues and organs in plants. Maintaining the balance between the division and differentiation of stem cells is the basis for plants to accumulate biomass through longitudinal elongation and radial thickening growth. This process can be regulated by some factors such as genes, microRNAs (miRNAs), and plant hormones. This paper summarizes the research progress of stem cells regulating plant growth and development in recent years, and prospects for future research.
