Fig. 3. Stem cell specification in the root apical meristem. Stem cell activity is
regulated by both the FEZ pathway (right) acting downstream of PIN1-directed
auxin flux and the PLT proteins, and by G1 regulators acting downstream of the
SHR/SCR pathway (left). Stem cells are shown in pink, with the stem cell
subpopulation that specifically responds to the FEZ pathway and `G1
regulators' shown in dark pink. Image courtesy of Ben Scheres.
