Leaves communicate photoperiodic signals to meristems, stolons and buds in flowering, tuberization and dormancy. |
Leaves in vascular plants are produced by determinate growth on the flanks of indeterminate shoot apical meristems. |
In flowers, both genes are expressed throughout inflorescence and floral meristems and in developing organ primordia. |
The flower meristems are produced acropetally by the inflorescence meristem and are subtended by bracts. |
Plant growth originates from meristems, localized tissues with stem cell features that are at the origin of all organs of the plant. |
These are the potential meristems that are formed at the base of each leaf during vegetative growth. |
