This paper describes the use of fluorescent-dye loading techniques to reveal the presence of symplasmic fields in the outer meristematic layer of birch meristems. Two distinct fields are illustrated, corresponding to the peripheral zone and the central zone of the seedling meristem and providing a mechanism for compartmentalized communication. A transient connection between the two compartments is made during early leaf initiation and the symplasmic fields are broken down with the induction of meristematic quiescence.

Fluorescent tracer molecules loaded into young leaf primordia of Arabidopsis are shown to move symplamically into the tunica layer of the vegetative shoot apical meristem. Symplasmic movement was found to be progressively restricted with the onset of flowering. Later, the symplasmic field is re-established in inflorescence meristems, revealing spatial and temporal regulation of plasmodesmatal connections.

The phenotype and molecular cloning of the terminal ear1 mutation is described. Mutant plants produce superfluous numbers of narrow leaves in deviant phyllotactic patterns. The TE1 gene encodes contains an RNA-binding motif, and is expressed in shoot apices in a pattern consistent with its proposed role as a negative regulator of leaf initiation in maize.

Development. 126:1999;305-313. The authors present a mosaic analysis of Gnarley1, a dominant, gain-of-function mutation in a Knotted1-like homeobox gene. X-ray induced sectors of nonmutant tissue on mutant tissue support the idea that lateral veins serve as developmental boundaries and that auricle propagation can be separated from auricle initiation.

Cell. 93:1998;779-789. The phantastica gene - which is purported to be required for the establishment of dorsoventrality in Antirrhinum leaves, bracts and petals - is found to encode a MYB-domain-containing transcription factor expressed in founder cells and young primordia. Analyses of temperature-sensitive alleles indicates an additional role for PHAN in elaboration of the proximodistal axes of snapdragon lateral organs.

The rough sheath2 gene is cloned in a PCR-based assay to identify the maize orthologue of phantastica, a leaf-patterning mutation from Antirrhinum. Despite similar expression pattern, mutations in the orthologous genes result in dissimilar mutant phenotypes.

The maize orthologue of the phantastica gene from Antirrhinum is cloned by transposon tagging. A model for ROUGH SHEATH2 and PHANTASTICA function argues that both genes are involved in negative repression of homeobox gene expression in lateral organs. Loss-of-function mutations in both rough sheath2 and phantastica, therefore, result in 'proximalized' leaf phenotypes.

The data support a model whereby shoot apical meristem formation is dependent upon signals emanating from adaxial leaf surfaces.

The pinhead/zwille gene acts pleiotropically in Arabidopsis development and has overlapping functions with the argonaute1 gene. Development. 126:1999;469-481. The PINHEAD protein is required for shoot apical meristem formation in Arabidopsis. Evidence is presented that PINHEAD function defines a developmental domain also comprising the adaxial surface of young leaf primordia, and that this domain is essential for shoot meristem development.

A recessive mutation causing variable reductions in lateral development and dorsoventrality in maize lateral organs is described and a model for the establishment of maize leaf dorsoventrality during founder cell stages is presented.
44. Schneeberger R., Tsiantis M., Freeling M., Langdale J.A. The rough sheath2 gene negatively regulates homeobox gene expression during maize leaf development. Development. 125:1998;2857-2865. The recessive mutation rough sheath2 induces leaf and shoot developmental abnormalities similar to those reported for dominant Knotted1-like homeodomain mutants. The rough sheath2 phenotype is correlated with ectopic expression of homeodomain genes in leaves, indicating that rough sheath2 is a negative regulator of Knotted1-like gene expressive in shoots.

Three members of the YABBY gene family are expressed on the abaxial domain of lateral organ primordia. The expression domains of these genes are correspondingly altered in the abaxializing mutant phabulosa, whereas ectopic expression of two YABBY members confers development of ectopic abaxial tissue types. These data strongly suggest that the YABBY gene family may have evolved to encode overlapping functions in the specification of abaxial identity.
