CLAVATA signaling restricts stem cell identity in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) in Arabidopsis thaliana. In rice (Oryza sativa), FLORAL ORGAN NUMBER2 (FON2), closely related to CLV3, is involved as a signaling molecule in a similar pathway to negatively regulate stem cell proliferation in the floral meristem (FM). Here we show that the FON2 SPARE1 (FOS1) gene encoding a CLE protein functions along with FON2 in maintenance of the FM. In addition, FOS1 appears to be involved in maintenance of the SAM in the vegetative phase, because constitutive expression of FOS1 caused termination of the vegetative SAM. Genetic analysis revealed that FOS1 does not need FON1, the putative receptor of FON2, for its action, suggesting that FOS1 and FON2 may function in meristem maintenance as signaling molecules in independent pathways. Initially, we identified FOS1 as a suppressor that originates from O. sativa indica and suppresses the fon2 mutation in O. sativa japonica. FOS1 function in japonica appears to be compromised by a functional nucleotide polymorphism (FNP) at the putative processing site of the signal peptide. Sequence comparison of FOS1 in about 150 domesticated rice and wild rice species indicates that this FNP is present only in japonica, suggesting that redundant regulation by FOS1 and FON2 is commonplace in species in the Oryza genus. Distribution of the FNP also suggests that this mutation may have occurred during the divergence of japonica from its wild ancestor. Stem cell maintenance may be regulated by at least three negative pathways in rice, and each pathway may contribute differently to this regulation depending on the type of the meristem. This situation contrasts with that in Arabidopsis, where CLV signaling is the major single pathway in all meristems. The body plan of plants is regulated by the function of apical meristems that are generated in the embryo. Leaves and floral organs are derived from cells supplied by stem cells in the vegetative shoot apical meristem (SAM) and the floral meristem (FM), respectively. Thus, genetic regulation of stem cell maintenance is a central issue in plant development. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, CLAVATA3 (CLV3) functions as a key signaling molecule to restrict the size of the stem cell population in both the SAM and the FM. In rice, however, we show here that two CLV3-like genes, FLORAL ORGAN NUMBER2 (FON2) and FON2 SPARE1 (FOS1), redundantly regulate maintenance of the FM. We also show that FOS1 is likely to be involved in maintenance of the vegetative SAM, whereas FON2 plays no role in regulation in this meristem. FOS1 appears to act via a putative receptor that differs from the FON2 receptor, suggesting that these two signaling molecules function in independent pathways to restrict stem cells in different ways depending on the type of meristem. In addition, we show that the FOS1 gene was compromised in the standard rice, Oryza sativa spp. japonica, during the evolution of rice.
