Asteraceae shoot apical meristem transcriptomes and response to exogenous CLE peptide application.
We investigated CLV3's role in Asteraceae development by sequencing and assembling transcriptomes using shoot apical meristems of various Asteraceae species. We also treated sunflower inflorescence meristems with exogenous, synthetic CLV3 variants to test differential gene expression 5 and 24 hours after treatment.
