From: Single-cell and coupled GRN models of cell patterning in the Arabidopsis thaliana root stem cell niche

Figure 2

Simplified cellular pattern of the root stem cell niche compared to a real root. The four cell types within the SCN, each of which corresponds to one of four stable attractors recovered by the models in figure 1. The vascular initials (yellow), cortex-endodermis initials (green), quiescent center (blue) and columella-epidermis-lateral root cap initials (orange) (b) in the cleared root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana colorized to show the corresponding cell types represented by the attractors recovered by the single-cell GRN models in figure 1 and schematized in (a). The activation states of the nodes are represented by 0 and 1 in the following order: PLT, auxin, ARF, Aux/IAA, SHR, SCR, JKD, MGP and WOX5.
