Abstract: | Background Flowering plant development is wholly reliant on growth from meristems, which contain totipotent cells that give rise to all
post-embryonic organs in the plant. Plants are uniquely able to alter their development throughout their lifespan through
the generation of new organs in response to external signals. To identify genes that regulate meristem-based growth, we considered
homologues of Raptor proteins, which regulate cell growth in response to nutrients in yeast and metazoans as part of a signaling
complex with the target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase. |
