We use the model to explore the parameter space that allows stem cell maintenance, and to simulate the consequences of mutations, gene misexpression and cell ablations.

-
Experimental evidence from WUS misexpression shows that only outer cell layers acquire stem cell identity.

Evidence in favour of this latter hypothesis is supported further by the misexpression of proAtHB8: GUS.
PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles Margaret Pullen et al. 2010
-
Contrary to the cascade model of misexpression, we find that there is considerable stage-specific autonomy of regulatory breakdown in hybrids, with the larval and adult stages showing significantly more hybrid misexpression as compared to the pupal stage.
-
However, all previous studies performed on various mutants or constitutive misexpression lines did not allow studying the immediate consequences of system perturbations.

In plants, this has been achieved by expressing Simulation for WUS misexpression in the stem cell domain.

However, this has prompted the suggestion that misexpression in adult hybrids results from the downstream cascading effects of a subset of genes improperly regulated in early development.
