Stem-cell-ubiquitous genes spatiotemporally coordinate division through regulation of stem-cell-specific gene networks

Abstract

Stem-cell-specific genes regulate processes such as maintenance, identity and/or division. Here, the authors show that in the Arabidopsis root TCX2, a gene expressed across different stem cell populations (a stem-cell-ubiquitous gene), controls division and identity by regulating stem-cell-type-specific networks.
