The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is responsible for development of all above ground organs in the plant. SAM structure and function correlates with agronomically-important adult traits in the maize plant, and is also affected by planting density and shade stresses induced by agricultural environments. Our ultimate goals are to understand the regulatory networks controlling SAM structure and function, and the responses of these networks to environmental stresses
