Simon教授的讲座摘要:

Dynamics of stem cell signaling pathways in meristems

Organogenesis in plants is based on precise cell fate determination of undifferentiated cells, which are derived from stem cells that reside in meristems. Cell fate determination depends on the position of a cell within the plant body. A number of mechanisms provide positional information to cells or cell populations: (1) plant hormones like auxin establish gradients or local concentration maxima; (2) secreted ligands and membrane associated receptors enables cell-cell signaling between adjacent cell layers; (3) transcription factors can act non-cell autonomously to integrate cellular responses, and (4) long range communication takes place by transport of signals between cells through plasmodesmata.

Our current understanding is that these mechanisms act in a concerted manner to govern plant development. I will report on our most recent results on receptor kinase signaling pathways that control the growth and maintenance of meristems. Using a toolbox of fluorescence imaging techniques in planta, we studied the dynamics of receptor assembly into larger complexes at distinct regions of the plasmamembranes upon the perception of their specific ligands. Furthermore, we found that alterations of receptor expression levels can have profound developmental consequences. Finally, I will try to link aspects of peptide-receptor and hormonal signaling pathways, and highlight important commonalities and differences between developmental and pathogen response pathways.
