Regulation of shoot stem cells by microRNAs and ARGONAUTE proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana

Abstract: MircroRNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs which can be loaded into ARGONAUTE proteins and regulate gene expression at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. The shoot apical meristem maintenance in Arabidopsis thaliana is tightly controled by miRNA related regulatory programs, which involves miR165/166 and miR394, and two AGO proteins (AGO1 and AGO10/ZLL). In this PhD dissertation, I provide evidence that miR168-regulated AGO1 level is also an importanct factor for the stem cell activity in the shoot apical meristem. I also show that the epidermis-derived miR394 can form a movable signal which is involved in the postembryonic development of shoot apical meristem
