Wild-type and the handshake (has) mutants in Arabidopsis thaliana were analyzed. Compared to the wild-type, has mutants display a number of morphological alterations, which can largely be traced back to altered meristem function. Analyses of apical meristem of mutant plants showed that mutation affected meristem structure and patterns of STM expression.
