个人简介
Plants are remarkable for their amazing diversity of forms. Yet despite enormous differences in their appearance, all plants have a similar underlying structure. This structure is derived from a reservoir of stem cells located at the growing tip, called the Shoot Apical Meristem (SAM). The stem cells in the SAM continuously divide and replenish themselves, enabling the plant to grow throughout its life. They also produce daughter cells that form organs such as leaves, stems and flowers.
Precise regulation of stem cell activity is essential to balance tip growth with organ formation, and the ability to maintain a dynamic equilibrium of meristem cells is critical for plants to achieve their characteristic architecture. Disruption of plant stem cell maintenance can cause dramatic effects including altered development, biomass accumulation and yield.
The goal of research in the Fletcher Lab is to determine the molecular mechanisms that maintain Arabidopsis shoot and flower stem cell reservoirs, and to understand the early steps of organ formation. Our approach involves a combination of genetics, molecular biology, cell biology and biochemistry.
