Conserved factors regulate signalling in Arabidopsis thaliana shoot and root stem cell organizers
Article Abstract:
Arabidopsis thaliana is used as a model plant to study various root and shoot meristems that affect the cell maintenance, as stem cell niches in both the meristems provide cells for the formation of the entire systems. The results show that the homeobox gene WOX5 (WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX 5) maintains the cells in both the systems, as the maintenance highly requires several other related regulators.

A centrally integrator of transcription networks in plant stress and energy signalling
Article Abstract:
The evolutionary conserved Arabidopsis thaliana protein kinases, KIN10 and KIN11 were shown to control convergent reprogramming of transcriptions in response to seemingly unrelated darkness, sugar and stress conditions. Stress detection and subsequent gene regulation were found to be controlled by the protein kinases, KIN10 and KIN11.

OX1 kinase is necessary for oxidative burst-mediated signalling in arabidopsis
Article Abstract:
Arabidopsis thaliana gene (OXl1) is required for full activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and is necessary for at least two different active oxygen species (AOS) mediated processes. OX1 is an essential part of the signal transduction pathway that links oxidative burst signals to diverse downstream responses.
