title: Networks for shoot design.
abstract: The intrinsic capacity of the shoot apical meristem for self-regulation and the positional specification of its cells implies the existence of an elaborate and versatile communication network. We propose a model that pictures this network as a system of overlapping signal circuits, which support local tasks as well as coordinating indeterminate shoot development.
