A key innovation in land plants was the evolution of meristems with stem cells possessing multiple cutting faces (division planes) from which three-dimensional growth is derived in both haploid (gametophyte) and diploid (sporophyte) generations [1–3]. Within each meristem exists a pool of stem cells...
