stem-cell-biology
Stem cell biology in plants investigates the populations of undifferentiated, self-renewing cells found in meristems—specialized regions at shoot and root tips that continuously generate new tissues and organs throughout a plant's life. Unlike animals, plants retain active stem cell niches into adulthood, making them powerful models for studying cell fate determination, tissue regeneration, and developmental plasticity. Understanding how plant stem cells are maintained and directed to differentiate has broad implications for improving crop yield, stress resilience, and our fundamental knowledge of multicellular development.
