Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation TurboID proximity labeling in maize meristems identified BAM1D as a putative co-receptor of FEA3.
- Observation BAM1D and FEA3 proximity labeling proteomes shared over 40 proteins, including many signaling proteins.
- Mechanism fea3 was epistatic to bam1d in the control of inflorescence meristem size.
- Intervention effect fea3 mutants had larger inflorescence meristems.
- Intervention effect bam1d mutants produced smaller inflorescence meristems.
- Mechanism The authors propose that multiple partially overlapping CLV receptor complexes coordinately control meristem maintenance.
