WUSCHEL modulates jasmonate signaling to control the balance between growth and defense in the shoot apical meristem

Pengfei Fan, Panagiotis Boumpas, Christian Wenzl, Yanfei Ma, Gernot Poschet, Jiao Zhao, Thomas Greb, Jan U. Lohmann

This study shows WUSCHEL modulates jasmonate signaling to control growth-defense balance in the shoot apical meristem during systemic wounding.

The Cell Wall Controls Stem Cell Fate in the Arabidopsis Shoot Apical Meristem

Tasnim Zerin, Paola Ruiz Duarte, Ann-Kathrin Schürholz, Theresa Schlamp, Yanfei Ma, Carlo Bevilacqua, Nabila El Arbi, Christian Wenzl, Andrej Miotk, Robert Prevedel, Thomas Greb, Jan U. Lohmann, Sebastian Wolf

This study shows that the cell wall controls stem cell fate in the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem by modulating mechanical properties through pectin methylesterase expression regulated by WUS.
