Auxin Response Factors promote organogenesis by chromatin-mediated repression of the pluripotency gene <i>SHOOTMERISTEMLESS</i>, Published online: 21 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08861-3

The pluripotency factor SHOOTMERISTEMLESS (STM) maintains stem cell identity in the centre of the shoot apical meristem. Here Chung et al. show that Auxin Response Factors work in concert with the YABBY transcription factor FIL to silence STM via chromatin modifications and allow initiation of primordia that lead to formation of flowers.
