  "summary": "The root meristem is essential for stem cell maintenance and root development in plants. In Arabidopsis, Root meristem Growth Factor (RGF) peptides and their receptors regulate root meristem size through reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent signalling. RGF1-mediated ROS redistribution post-translationally stabilises the root meristem master regulator PLETHORA2 (PLT2). Although genomic studies…",
