Regulation of meristem and hormone function revealed through analysis of directly-regulated SHOOT MERISTEMLESS target genes by Tamara Lechon, Nicholas A. Kent, James A. H. Murray, Simon Scofield

“…We further demonstrate that many STM-bound genes are transcriptionally responsive to altered levels of STM activity, and show that among these, transcriptional regulators with key roles in meristem and hormone function are highly represented. Finally, we use a subset of these target genes to perform Bayesian network analysis to infer gene regulatory associations and to construct a refined GRN for STM-mediated control of meristem function.…”
