The paralogous genesDORNRÖSCHEN(DRN) andDORNRÖSCHEN-LIKE(DRNL) encode AP2-type transcription factors that are expressed and act cell-autonomously in the central stem-cell zone or lateral organ founder cells (LOFCs) in the peripheral zone of the Arabidopsis shoot meristem (SAM), but their molecular contribution is unknown. Here, we show using theArabidopsis thaliana MERISTEM LAYER 1promoter thatDRNandDRNLshare a common function in cell cycle progression and potentially provide local competence for G1-S transitions in the SAM. Analysis of double transgenicDRN::erGFPandDRNL::erCERULEANpromoter fusion lines suggests that the trajectory of this cellular competence starts withDRNactivity in the central stem-cell zone and extends locally viaDRNLactivity into groups of founder cells at the IM or FM periphery. Our data support the scenario that after gene duplication,DRNandDRNLacquired different transcription domains within the shoot meristem, but retained protein function that affects cell cycle progression, either centrally in stem cells or peripherally in primordial founder cells, a finding that is of general relevance for meristem function.
