Abstract
Development of flowering plants is different from that of the animal model systems. In flowering plants such as Arabidopsis, embryogenesis serves primarily to establish the shoot and root apical meristems, which later develop into the mature plant. Most morphogenesis and pattern formation thus occur postembryonically. The shoot apical meristem (SAM), which is a small collection of undifferentiated cells, first forms and then arrests during embryogenesis; after seed germination, it activates and becomes the source of the cells that will later make up the entire above-ground part of the plant (Steeves and Sussex 1989; Meyerowitz 1997). The morphogenetic activities of the SAM after seed germination consist of a small number of stereotyped programs, with the environment playing an important part in which programs are selected.
