“…However, a total loss of FM termination was more recently observed in several double mutants (Alvarez and Smyth, 1999;Prunet et al, 2008) and transgenic plants (Chen, 2004;Zhao et al, 2007), while some mutants, including clv, ult1, perianthia (pan), and superman (sup) only display a delay of FM termination, and produce a limited number of supernumerary whorls before stem cell maintenance eventually stops (Fig. 1, E and F;Schultz et al, 1991;Bowman et al, 1992;Clark et al, 1993Clark et al, , 1995Kayes and Clark, 1998;Fletcher, 2001;Carles et al, 2004;Das et al, 2009;Maier et al, 2009).…”
