Using an inducible RNA interference (RNAi) construct targeting CLV3 and live imaging of the shoot meristem, the authors clearly show that CLV3 acts on both cell differentiation and cell proliferation to determine meristem size. CLV3 does this by preventing the differentiation of adjacent peripheral zone cells, thereby restricting its own expression to the central zone. CLV3 also has long-range effects on cell division rate.

Using an inducible system that increased CLV3 expression within its normal expression domain, the authors demonstrate the effect of CLV3 on peripheral cell differentiation.

Using molecular techniques and mutant analyses, the authors define the expression zones of the closely related CLV1-like receptor-like kinases and demonstrate that these BAM proteins have different roles within the meristem, which rely upon the underlying gene-specific expression patterns.

Nature 438 (2005) 1172-1175. Using an inducible expression system for WUS, the authors identify the cytokinin-responsive ARR genes that are differentially expressed in response to transient WUS expression, and thus likely to be WUS targets. They propose that ARR genes inhibit meristem growth and that WUS functions to regulate meristem development by inhibiting the ARR genes.

Using reporter lines and combinations of developmental mutants (scr-4, plt1 and plt2), the authors demonstrate that regenerative plant growth after laser ablation of the QC cells proceeds through distinct stages. They propose a model in which auxin accumulation is shifted, promoting PLT expression that downregulates PIN expression and upregulates SHR to promote SCR expression. This cascade of events re-specifies the QC cells.

Using pin mutants, the authors perform a comprehensive analysis of the PIN auxin efflux facilitator family of proteins. They also show that PLT proteins are key to the regulated expression of PIN genes and propose a model for auxin distribution in the root that is based on PIN localization.

The retinoblastoma-related gene regulates stem cell maintenance in Arabidopsis roots. Cell 123 (2005) 1337-1349. Using a combination of developmental genetics, inducible RNAi RBR lines and laser ablation, the authors demonstrate that the canonical RBR/E2F pathway of cell cycle control is a key factor in stem cell maintenance. They suggest that SCR acts upstream of RBR to downregulate RBR levels in the QC cells.

Integration of plant responses to environmentally activated phytohormonal signals. Science 311 (2006) 91-94. Using the DELLA quadruple mutant (gibberellin insensitive [gai] repressor of ga1 [rga] rga-like 1 [rgl1] rgl2), the authors demonstrate that DELLA proteins function in salt signalling to control the growth response. They further show that this pathway is responsive to complex hormone (ABA and ethylene) inputs and suggest that the DELLA proteins act as integrators of various signals to control situation-appropriate growth.
