Root development: quiescent center not so mute after all

Current Biology : CB
Peter Doerner

Abstract

Many functions have been attributed to the quiescent center of a root apical meristem, from stem cell reservoir to pattern-generating center. Limited laser ablation of the quiescent center in Arabidopsis has now revealed that it acts to suppress differentiation and to maintain the surrounding initial cells as stem cells.

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.
