Abstract
The shoot apical meristem is a key stem cell niche in plants, and proper stem cell maintenance is partly regulated by CLAVATA3 (CLV3). Without CLV3 meristems overgrow, but the mechanistic basis of this phenotype was unclear. A new paper in Development suggests that CLV3 modulates the physical properties of meristematic stem cells, and that these properties help shape meristem morphology. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author Léa Rambaud-Lavigne and corresponding authors Namrata Gundiah, Arezki Boudaoud and Pradeep Das.
