Abstract

Despite the importance of stem cells in plant and animal development, the common mechanisms of stem cell maintenance in both systems have remained elusive. Recently, the importance of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) signaling in priming stem cell differentiation has been extensively studied in animals. Here, we show that different forms of reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) have antagonistic roles in plant stem cell regulation, which were established by distinct spatiotemporal patterns of ROS ‐metabolizing enzymes. The superoxide anion ( ) is markedly enriched in stem cells to activate WUSCHEL and maintain stemness, whereas H 2 O 2 is more abundant in the differentiating peripheral zone to promote stem cell differentiation. Moreover, H 2 O 2 negatively regulates biosynthesis in stem cells, and increasing H 2 O 2 levels or scavenging leads to the termination of stem cells. Our results provide a mechanistic framework for ROS ‐mediated control of plant stem cell fate and demonstrate that the balance between and H 2 O 2 is key to stem cell maintenance and differentiation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
