This research investigates the mechanisms behind lateral growth in plants, particularly focusing on the cambium stem cells in Arabidopsis thaliana. The project aims to understand how cells interact with their environment to facilitate post-embryonic growth.
In contrast to animals, in which tissue proliferation in adult individuals is often pathological and deleterious, plants have evolved an indefinite growth habit. A remarkable but under-investigated example is the thickening of plant stems and roots:
It is a purely postembryonic growth process and the group of stem cells responsible – the cambium – is derived from and embedded in fully differentiated tissues.
Consequently, lateral plant growth has to integrate and overcome developmental and physi…
