Is the shoot a root with a view?

Journal Article (Review)

Recently, it has been shown that the same sets of genes act in both root and shoot to regulate cell fate and patterning.

Ectopic expression and laser ablation have been used to probe the mechanisms by which these genes perform their tissue and organ-specific functions.
