Fig. 4. A localized tissue deformation is sufficient to explain the formation of new stem cell domains in flower primordia.

Fig. 4

(A) Model equilibria in a set of different tissues mimicking the growth of a flower primordium. As the deformation expands, new WUS and CLV3 domains appear in the expanding organ. (B) Top-view projections of WUS and CLV3 expression domains in a SAM surrounded by flower primordia at different stages. Older (larger) primordia express the constructs whereas the younger ones do not. Scale bars, 50 μm.
