The TORcySTEM project investigates how the Target of Rapamycin kinase regulates plant growth by integrating nutrient and hormonal signals in the shoot apical meristem. It focuses on understanding the translational control of cytokinin-degrading enzymes to maintain stem cell activity and promote shoot development.
Plant growth and organogenesis depend on the ability of meristems to integrate metabolic signals with developmental pathways.
The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is a key developmental hub where nutrient availability and hormonal cues, particularly cytokinin, coordinate cell proliferation and organ initiation.
The conserved kinase Target of Rapamycin (TOR) acts as a central regulator of these inputs, and its activity is essential for meristem activation and stem cell maintenance.
