The pattern of serration is determined first, independently of CUC2 and miR164. We suggest that leaf margin development is controlled by a two-step process in Arabidopsis. Apical meristems also produce new leaves, called leaf primordia. The leaves take up water and carbon dioxide and convert them into carbohydrates in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. It is normally green in colour and manufactures food for the whole plant. the apex proper being shown surrounded by leaf primordia and young leaves up. Definition of a Leaf: The leaf is a flattened, lateral outgrowth of the stem in the branch, developing from a node and having a bud in its axil. Each stem has an apical meristem that allows the stem to grow longer. So defined, it is independent of the shapes of the primordia, and even of. The concept can be applied to organogenesis since. A plant has special areas of growth called meristems.

CUC2 and MIR164A are transcribed in overlapping domains at the margins of young leaf primordia, with transcription gradually restricted to the sinus, where the leaf margins become serrated. leaf primordia Young leaves, recently formed by the shoot apical meristem, located at the tip of a shoot. A bud’s apical meristem (cells at the tip of developing tissues that actively divide) produces lateral meristem primordia that are at first uncommitted that is, each lateral meristem can either develop into a tendril or an inflorescence, depending on factors influencing. Thus, CUC2 specifically controls leaf margin development. Fruitful buds are initiated in leaf axils (located where the leaf stalk, or petiole, meets the growing shoot). An endodermis (E) is indicated by arrows. Arrowheads indicate the extent of pericycle tissue involved. Periclinal and anticlinal divisions in the pericycle (P) opposite a xylem pole (Xy) herald the development of a lateral primordium. Furthermore, CUC2 inactivation abolished serration in mir164a mutants and the wild type, whereas CUC1 inactivation did not. (A) A transverse section of the parent root showing an early stage. Enhanced leaf serration was observed following the expression of an miR164-resistant CUC2 but not of an miR164-resistant CUC1. By contrast, leaves of plants overexpressing miR164 have smooth margins. We identified mutations in the MIR164A gene that deepen serration of the leaf margin. By the culturing of shoot meristem, adventitious roots can be regenerated. This technique primarily involves the isolation of meristem by applying a V-Shape cut in the stem. We show that each MIR164 is transcribed to generate a large population of primary miRNAs of variable size with a locally conserved secondary structure around the pre-miRNA. Meristem culture is defined as the tissue culture technique, which uses apical meristem with 1-3 leaf primordia to prepare clones of a plant by the vegetative propagation. CUC1 and CUC2 transcripts are targeted by a microRNA (miRNA), miR164, encoded by MIR164A, B, and C. CUP-SHAPED COTYLEDON1 (CUC1), CUC2, and CUC3 define the boundary domain around organs in the Arabidopsis thaliana meristem.
