SUMMARY

In August 2006, plant biologists gathered at the FASEB `Mechanisms in Plant Development' meeting in Vermont, which was organized by Laurie Smith and Ueli Grossniklaus. A variety of plant developmental mechanisms were presented at this meeting and, although many talks focused on Arabidopsis thaliana as a primary model in which to study plant development, research in maize, tomato, Chlamydomonas and other plants also provided insight into various topics, such as cell-type specification, small RNA biosynthesis and action, hormone perception and transport, and cell and organ size.
