Role for the shoot apical meristem in the specification of juvenile leaf identity in Arabidopsis [Plant Biology]

The extent to which the shoot apical meristem (SAM) controls developmental decisions, rather than interpreting them, is a longstanding issue in plant development. Previous work suggests that vegetative phase change is regulated by signals intrinsic and extrinsic to the SAM, but the relative importance of these signals for this process...
