Abstract Background In barley, flowering behavior is a highly regulated and complex process where the appropriate matching of reproductive development with seasonal variation in water availability confer barley adaptation to different environments. In this study, the role of variation in flowering time and drought tolerance in four selected barley genotypes was studied under field and controlled conditions. For this purpose, field trials were conducted for two consecutive seasons at three diverse environments where the studied genotypes were subjected to either rainfed conditions or rainfed plus supplementary irrigation under two different sowing dates. Furthermore, reproductive meristem development in two selected barley genotypes, Rum (drought tolerant) and Steptoe (drought-sensitive) was also assessed in response to both vernalization and water stress under two different photoperiod conditions.Results Variation in the number of days to heading was more pronounced under rainfed conditions than under well water conditions. For agronomic performance, Rum was superior under all tested environments, which assure its general adaptability to multiple environments, while Steptoe was the poorest. The transition to reproductive meristem was faster under vernalized long-day conditions as compared to vernalized short-day conditions. The progress of shoot apical meristem development and heading under long-day conditions was significantly faster in Rum than that of Steptoe. A clear effect of drought stress was observed on shoot apical meristem development in Steptoe. Under short-day conditions, vernalized Rum plants subjected to water deficit showed an advanced meristem development stage a significant earlier HD when compared with non-stressed plants. This early flowering behavior in stressed Rum plants under short-day conditions was accompanied by higher gene expression of the Vrn-H1 gene. Conclusion In conclusion, the integration of vernalization and photoperiod signals in drought-tolerant barley genotypes is associated with early flowering behavior and higher productivity in dry environments.

Shoot Meristems

Axillary and floral meristems are shoot meristems that initiate postembryonically. In Arabidopsis, axillary meristems give rise to branches during vegetative development while floral meristems give rise to flowers during reproductive development. This review compares the development of these meristems from their initiation at the shoot apical meristem up to the establishment of their specific developmental fates. Axillary and floral meristems originate from lateral primordia that form at flanks of the shoot apical meristem. Initial development of vegetative and reproductive primordia are similar, resulting in the formation of a morphologically defined primordium partitioned into adaxial and abaxial domains. The adaxial primordial domain is competent to form a meristem, while the abaxial domain correlates with the formation of a leaf. This review proposes that all primordia partition into domains competent to form the meristem and the leaf. According to this model, a vegetative primordium develops as leaf-bias while a reproductive primordium develops as meristem-bias.Key words: SHOOTMERISTEMLESS, LATERAL SUPPRESSOR, AINTEGUMENTA, adaxial primordial domain, abaxial primordial domain, shoot morphogenesis.

And Function

The effect of auxins and abscisic acid (ABA) on shoot apical meristem development and function was analyzed in microspore-derived embryos of Brassica napus L. ‘Topas’. Embryos were treated with an auxin transport inhibitor, tri-iodobenzoic acid (TIBA) or exogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at various stages during their development. If embryos were treated at the preglobular or globular stages of embryogenesis, they developed one fused cotyledon indicating a continuation of radial symmetry. However, if treated later in development, embryos were comparable to the control and formed two separate cotyledons. To demonstrate that this was not a pharmacological effect, an auxin antagonist, 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acid, included with the TIBA treatment produced normal embryos with two separate cotyledons. Histological observations revealed that the shoot apical meristem of the embryos treated with TIBA or IAA at the preglobular and globular stages was altered. Preglobular and globular stage embryos that were treated with TIBA exhibited a dramatic decline in conversion frequency compared with their controls. Embryos that were treated later in development had conversion frequencies comparable to their controls, and their shoot apical meristems also were similar to controls. Application of ABA at the preglobular and globular stages maintained meristem integrity and improved embryo conversion. However, ABA could not reverse the TIBA effect.

The Impact

Plants retain the ability to produce new organs throughout their life cycles. Continuous aboveground organogenesis is achieved by meristems, which are mainly organized, established, and maintained in the shoot apex and leaf axils. This paper will focus on reviewing the recent progress in understanding the regulation of shoot apical meristem and axillary meristem development. We discuss the genetics of plant meristems, the role of plant hormones and environmental factors in meristem development, and the impact of epigenetic factors on meristem organization and function.
