Key regulators and genetic pathways of phase transition from SAM to IM in cereal crops. Models for the roles of KNOX-type proteins, CLV signaling, G proteins, photoperiod pathway and MADS transcription factors in regulation of SAM size/activity and IM specification in rice, maize, wheat and barley. SAM, shoot apical meristem; IM, inflorescence meristem; BM, branch meristem; SM, spikelet meristem.
