Abstract

Summary A basic body plan consisting of two axes, apical-basal and radial (central-peripheral), is established during the embryogenesis of higher plants. The embryo forms the shoot and root meristems, which are essential for postembryonic development, at the opposite ends of the apical-basal axis. Recently, a molecular genetic approach using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana has provided insight into the establishment of the basic body plan and the molecular mechanisms regulating the formation of the apical meristems. The phytohormone auxin in particular has been shown to he involved in pattern formation during the early stages of embryogenesis. In this review, we focus on several recent studies of the establishment of the body plan and pattern formation.
