“…The number of axillary buds in its mutants is significantly decreased [ 31 ]. Among the three CUC family members, CUC3 plays a major role in determining the formation and location of axillary meristems [ 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Further studies have shown that CUC1 and CUC2 control the development of the axillary meristem by regulating LAS and that CUC3 may play a role independent of LAS [ 30 ].…”

Transcription factors, also known as trans-acting factors, balance development and stress responses in plants. Branching plays an important role in plant morphogenesis and is closely related to plant biomass and crop yield. The apical meristem produced during plant embryonic development repeatedly produces the body of the plant, and the final aerial structure is regulated by the branching mode generated by axillary meristem (AM) activities. These branching patterns are regulated by two processes: AM formation and axillary bud growth. In recent years, transcription factors involved in regulating these processes have been identified. In addition, these transcription factors play an important role in various plant hormone pathways and photoresponses regulating plant branching. In this review, we start from the formation and growth of axillary meristems, including the regulation of hormones, light and other internal and external factors, and focus on the transcription factors involved in regulating plant branching and development to provide candidate genes for improving crop architecture through gene editing or directed breeding.

Main conclusion Plants lacking shoot apical meristem develop with unique body shapes, suggesting rewiring of developmental genes. This loss of the meristem is likely influenced by a combination of environmental factors and evolutionary pressures. Abstract This study explores the development of plant bodies in three families (Podostemaceae, Lemnaceae, and Gesneriaceae) where the shoot apical meristem (SAM), a key structure for growth, is absent or altered. The review highlights alternative developmental strategies these plants employ. Also, we considered alternative reproduction in those species, namely through structures like turions, fronds, or modified leaves, bypassing the need for a SAM. Further, we report on studies based on the expression patterns of genes known to be involved in SAM formation and function. Interestingly, these genes are still present but expressed in atypical locations, suggesting a rewiring of developmental networks. Our view on the current literature and knowledge indicates that the loss or reduction of the SAM is driven by a combination of environmental pressures and evolutionary constraints, leading to these unique morphologies. Further research, also building on Next-Generation Sequencing, will be instrumental to explore the genetic basis for these adaptations and how environmental factors influence them.
