All above ground parts of a plant - leaves, stem, flowers, and seeds - ultimately are derived from cells of a small tissue at the tip of the shoot. Biologists call this tissue the "apical meristem", ...

Plant Physiology, Vol. 137, No. 1 (Jan., 2005), pp. 308-316 (9 pages) Cultured cells of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia, when deprived of exogenous cytokinin, arrest in G2 phase prior to mitosis and then ...

Biologists have discovered how cytokinin activates stem cell division in plants. The mechanism by which the plant hormone cytokinin controls cell division has been discovered -- a breakthrough that ...

As the world heats up, plants face a dilemma - the same tiny holes they have to open to exchange gases also let out water. They can close the holes, called stomata, to stay hydrated in hotter, drier ...
