🔬 EXPERT VIEW 🔬 In this review, González-Suárez & Smit describe mechanisms that balance division and differentiation along cell lineages, and highlight recent works that identify factors controlling these processes. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 1.Summary of recent reports of factors that regulate the division-differentiation balance in different cell lineages. Schematic of a hypothetical differentiation landscape highlighting cells that progressively lose division potential as they differentiate into specific cell types. The color gradient reflects the degree of differentiation from stem-cell like precursors to fully differentiated cells. Recent studies identifying factors that promote or repress progress through the differentiation trajectories are highlighted (A–F) and discussed in Box 1. These include regulators of vascular (xylem and phloem, A–C) and leaf (stomata, trichomes, and myrosin cells, D–F) development.

🌸 FLOWERING NEWSLETTER REVIEW 🌸 González-Suárez et al. review how temperature regulates reproductive development in seasonal contexts, focusing on molecular factors controlling meristem transition from vegetative growth to the end of flowering 🌼 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 4.Changes in meristem activity and identity across the seasons. Circular diagram illustrating the multiple developmental transitions that occur in aerial meristems of Arabidopsis during the year. The temperature profile and timing of events are based on a field trial conducted in Norwich, UK (Lu et al., 2022). The apical vegetative meristem (VM) acquires reproductive identity during late autumn and early winter, after which it initiates floral primordia and later becomes dormant. In spring, flowering-promotive conditions trigger bolting, and the VM from the primary inflorescence (PI), now fully transitioned into an inflorescence meristem (IM), resumes reproductive development in the I2 zone of the inflorescence. Although delayed in their floral transition, axillary meristems (AMs) follow a similar developmental fate in the I1 zone. Finally, IMs undergo proliferative arrest in summer.
