Secreted Peptide Signals Required for Maintenance of Root Stem Cell Niche in Arabidopsis
A tiny bunch of stem cells generates the bulk and diversity of plant roots. These cells are found at the root meristem and are themselves regulated by signaling inputs from a variety of sources. In
Arabidopsis
,
Matsuzaki
et al.
(p.
1065
) have identified a family of peptide factors that regulate these root stem cells. These peptides, known as root meristem growth factors, carry the post-translational modification, tyrosine sulfation, and are essential for maintaining the root stem cell niche.
