DESCRIPTION:Plant shoots are characterized by reiterative production of or
 gans from an indeterminate shoot apical meristem. Early in development lat
 eral organs\, such as leaves\, establish dorsoventral polarity. Outgrowth 
 of the leaf lamina depends on signaling from the meristem to the initiatin
 g leaf\, as well as concerted interactions between adaxial(dorsal) and aba
 xial (ventral) domains of the leaf. Control of meristem function and leaf 
 patterning is via a network of interactions between several families of tr
 anscription factors\, a number of which are regulated by small RNAs. This 
 network is therefore defined by transcription and post-transcriptional mec
 hanisms. We have identified new players in the network as ribosomal protei
 ns\, which suggest a role for translation in leaf patterning and indicate 
 ribosomes are regulators of key patterning events in plant development. \n
